As mentioned just a couple of weeks back, I've been very much enjoying the work of Hannah and her Dad, in the band Hann. Up until very recently, it's all been singular releases through the camp of bands... then, at the last minute, Hann finally released their debut album. Too late for my Year End countdown, I'm afraid... though we really did try to make it.
Forever In A Glance is available digitally, or digitally with an accompanying lyric booklet. No CDs, because Hannah's from the post-CD generation, clearly. Which is a shame (Why do you use me? Try to confuse me?) because I'd have bought one.
More young ladies, although perhaps not that young since they've been making records as far back as 2004. The Veronicas come from Australia, and the track below got lodged in my head for a good part of the year with its anti-celebrity-glamour hook. You probably think this song is about you.
The rest of the album wasn't bad either.
Slightly older (but a gentleman should never mention a lady's age) Eddi Reader returned to her Fairground Attraction roots this year and together with her original partner in crime, Mark Nevin, they threw their Lego in the lake, releasing their second full LP (only 36 years after the first one). And the great thing is, they haven't changed a bit... though clearly the world around them has. (Oh, has the world changed or have I changed?)
And finally, a Super Furry Animal. Because we can never have too many of them. Cry wolf, baby! Sadly, Gruff is estranged from his old pals these days. He must be a Bad Friend...
Listen up, Gruff - You've got to tolerate all those people that you hate!
24 albums from 2024 will now be shuffled into a loose order of preference in time to bore the pants of you all entertain you over the festive period. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!
Starting Wednesday.
