Our Take

The Trashcan Sinatras have never been ones to shy away from a catchy melody or a clever turn of phrase, and their latest album "A Happy Pocket" is no exception. From the jangly guitars of "Easy Read" to the bittersweet harmonies of "I've Seen Everything," this Scottish indie-pop band has crafted an album that is as infectious as it is heartfelt.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Obscurity Knocks," a bouncy pop gem that showcases the band's knack for combining witty lyrics with irresistible hooks. Frontman Frank Reader's vocals soar over the shimmering instrumentation, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.

However, "A Happy Pocket" is not without its missteps. The album's slower tracks can at times feel a bit meandering, and some of the production choices come off as a bit dated. But overall, the Trashcan Sinatras have delivered an album that is sure to please both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

In conclusion, "A Happy Pocket" is a solid addition to the Trashcan Sinatras' discography, showcasing their signature blend of indie-pop sensibility and heartfelt songwriting. So sit back, press play, and let the infectious melodies of this album wash over you like a warm summer breeze.

About the artist

Trashcan Sinatras

Hailing from the misty shores of Scotland, Trashcan Sinatras are the unsung heroes of jangle pop. Since their formation in 1986, this quintet has been serving up deliciously melodic tunes with a side of wry wit and charming Scottish accents. They burst onto the scene with their debut album, 'Cake', a sugary confection of catchy guitar hooks and wistful lyrics. Critics hailed them as the heirs to the throne of The Byrds and R.E.M, with frontman Frank Reader's angelic vocals leading the charge. Trashcan Sinatras have a knack for crafting songs that are simultaneously melancholic and uplifting, like a rainy day that ends with a rainbow. Tracks like 'Obscurity Knocks' and 'Hayfever' are indie pop gems that will have you tapping your feet one minute and wiping away a tear the next. Their latest offering, 'Wild Pendulum', sees them delving into more introspective territory, exploring themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. The album is a testament to their staying power in an ever-changing music industry, proving that sometimes the old dogs can teach the young pups a thing or two. So, if you're in the mood for some tunes that will make you feel like you're walking on air one minute and pondering life's complexities the next, look no further than Trashcan Sinatras. Just don't forget to bring your umbrella – you never know when a Scottish shower might hit.
