Our Take

Get ready to dive headfirst into the whimsical world of The Charlatans with their latest release, "A Head Full Of Ideas." This Deluxe Edition, delivered on a stunning Transparent Blue Vinyl, is a true feast for the ears and eyes.

The album kicks off with the infectious energy of "Totally Eclipsing," a track that will have you bopping along from the moment the first note hits. The band's trademark indie-rock sound is back in full force, with frontman Tim Burgess's distinctive vocals leading the charge. The nostalgic vibe of "I Sing the Body Eclectic" will transport you to the heyday of Britpop, while "Imperial Black" showcases the band's ability to effortlessly blend classic and contemporary sounds.

One standout track is the dreamy "The Only One I Know," which flawlessly captures the essence of The Charlatans' iconic sound. The hypnotic grooves and irresistible melodies will have you hitting the repeat button time and time again.
