To The Sky

This record left our Mingus feeling happy.

Maps:'To the Sky' (Mute) This their latest effort starts of with a lone keyboard line that would'nt sound out of place on a Stereolab record, needless to stay if veres a miliion miles from that reference as it morphs into a jangling guitars, almost a falsetto sung, blue sky pop tune with layered choruses.It's where Squire-esque (Stone Roses) meets the pure pop sensibilty of the Pet Shop Boys.
