Rockpool Blue captures and evokes the classic late 80s bands such as McCarthy, Sea Urchins or The Smiths. I don't know if Neil Brogan, the chief creator within Sea Pinks, is influenced by that era or not but he and his cohorts have made another highly listenable record filled with lush guitar pop music. Brogan has suggested that Rockpool Blue maybe their last album. I certainly hope not. DJ_ShamboliX
The indie pop on Songs From Another Life sounds confident yet delicate, and the strummy and jangly guitars makes me long for spring. Some songs sound like straight up Teenage Fanclub worship, but in a good way. Fans of The Byrds and Big Star will probably dig this as well. Niek || Add To Wantlist
