"A Heart Against Your Own" Reviewed by Norman Records

Here's one of 2 releases this week on the Someone Good label. The first one is a CD by The Rational Academy which is a supergroup of sorts featuring people such as Lawrence English, Ben Frost, John Chantler, Benjamin Thompson and loads more I've never heard of. I'm not saying they're not important like... don't get me wrong. On 'A Heart Against You' there are 7 tracks knocking up just over 30 mins of quality pop music. It's very Morr music at times and it's what I'd term as sophisticated pop music. On the top there's pop tunes you can hum along to along the lines of Lali Puna, Dntel, Low (at times) and underneath there's a shoegazey feel and lots of other bits and bats happening. Layers of loveylyness indeed. Like a great onion in fact... I love onions me.... by far my favourite vegetable.
