Album of the Month - December 2018

Amor - Sinking Into A Miracle

Rough Trade Exclusive Clear Vinyl with Exclusive Four-Track Bonus CD featuring the two previously vinyl-only 12"s Paradise and Higher Moment.

The debut album from Glaswegians Richard Youngs (vocals), Michael Francis Duch (bass), Paul Thomson (percussion/drums) and Luke Fowler (synths/keys), is a playful and mysterious piece, spilling over with funky optimism and blissed out beats.

The strands of melody play and shift around as a dancing bass drags you on to the (surely) flashing dancefloor. Handclaps and percussion permeate throughout, embellishing the tracks with infectious accoutrement. The vocals have a face-to-sun euphoria. They call out while funk-synths whoop and thrumming drums rattle. The loops carry you along in a river of laidback shuffling carnival Afro-grooves.

An enveloping album splashed with new-age positivity, a clear-eyed glimpse of the future powered by mutant disco rhythms, plaintive piano and hypnotic mantras.
