Louis Eliot's Rialto were one of the great post-Britpop bands, lost in the flood of guitar groups trying to surf a wave that was already breaking. They released two great albums full of dark-night-of-the-soul indie, along with two of my favourite post-Britpop singles. The first feels like a dark sequel to The Day Before You Came, as sung by Scott Walker...
While the second is a song I always have to play towards the end of the summer holidays...
(And I've not even mention their Top 20 "smash" Untouchable.)
Rialto split up 25 years ago, and since then Eliot's been doing solo work... but guess what?
They're back.
And it's like yesterday all over again...
That's a belter. Looking forward to the album.
Snap.
