Sean Nicholas Savage
Flamingo
Arbutus Records
One year ago I discovered Sean Nicholas Savage masterpiece "Movin up in Society" and since then he released more records/tapes but in a more electronic fashion. And I dig through his earlier stuff and found tons of pearls too.
I don't know how one can write so much classy songs with great hooklines (to be honest, at this high output, there are fillers on any album, of course). Anyway - as I mentioned, his latest stuff was more electronic, early eighties disco-funk-pop reminiscence. With Flamingo he blends his "Orbinsonesque" sixties pop with the end seventies/eighties disco pop and the result sounds like a forgotten, totally worn-out compact cassette that you found in your older sisters walkman. It's wobbling and it sounds like the tape is getting eaten by this old walkman in any moment. I really love this effect and so I love this (digital)tape.
Ghostly love songs in bleached neon colors. I am sure it will reminds you on songs that you know from the radio, if you grown up in the eighties. Wham!, Donna Summer something like this...
He is really a unique and great musician to adapt these styles and sounds!
And after minutes of recalling what Common Ground sounds like, I found Tina Charles - I Love to Love. I can now go to bed.
9/10
