#1689 Mini Mansions - The Great Pretenders

Pulsing, busy, synthy ELO art/pop/rock that actually sounds pretty fresh, packed full of curious details and scooting, glammy cool, weilding a bit of Rundgren weird and Bryan Scary too-fast careening // soaring desperation.

The secret ingredient is Queens of the Stoneage bassist Michael Shuman: every time the album threatens to get to too fuzzy and abstract he swings in with a killer backbone that gets your heart back in it 4.5/5
