Trains To Brazil

This record left our Clint feeling unmoved.

First up is ebay favourites Guillemots. Now you'd have been forgiven for thinking their last single was good by the way it flew off the shelves. In fact it became a nice little earner for anyone who bought it as within weeks it was fetching £80 plus. Bonkers. After being mentally scarred by the Kenny G isms of the last single it was with some trepidation that we approached this new one. But for an old 80's sophisticated pop fan like me its a bit of a treat. It sounds exactly like 3rd album era Aztec Camera with bits of Prefab Sprout, Wah! The Waterboys and The Kane Gang thrown in............or think about the exact mid point between Matt Bianco and Mercury Rev. A well crafted pop tune with a completely unnecessary big band style brass section that will have Jools tinkling away on the old Joanna on their inevitable appearance on his 'Later' show. The B side has hints of Arcade Fire but is overly long and self indulgent (drop the sax solos guys). On Fantastic Plastic
