The Pure Conjecture - Gendres

Gendres cover art

Monday. Monday. Monday. Or as it's known at thegeneral's house - "Big Bag Of Relentlessly Tedious Shite". Never mind though, because there is a new album on the horizon which will hopefully make the week feel that little bit better.

Released today (October 7th) on the frankly marvellous Armellodie Records come this unusual little selection of ditties from The Pure Conjecture. Unusual. because it slightly defies pigeonholing, yet at the same time feels strangely familiar. There is a markedly nice contrast between poppy, upbeat instrumentation and nicely tempered, downbeat vocals from Matt Eaton, whilst other tracks are whispy, wistful and float by dreamily.

Standout tracks are Mr Tong, Midnight Dancing and the frankly lovely instrumental Surfin' Sunset. What's Worse? has a great, GREAT opening bassline. thegeneral loves a nice dirty bassline.

You can head on over to the Armellodie Bandcamp page to have a wee sken at the tracks afore ye commit to buying:

thegeneral heartily recommends you do. It's a great album, from a smashing wee band.
