Our Take

SCritti Politti's "Anomie & Bonhomie" is a musical rollercoaster that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about pop music. This album is a delicious cocktail of quirky lyrics, catchy melodies, and unexpected twists and turns that will keep you on your toes from start to finish.

Lead singer Green Gartside's vocals are like a fine wine - smooth, rich, and oh-so-satisfying. His voice effortlessly glides over the intricate instrumentation, weaving in and out of the music like a master storyteller. The blend of electronic beats, funky basslines, and shimmering synths creates a soundscape that is both nostalgic and fresh, a true testament to Scritti Politti's innovative approach to music-making.

Tracks like "Umm" and "Tinseltown to the Boogiedown" will have you grooving in your seat, while slower ballads like "Mystic Handyman" will tug at your heartstrings. But it's not just the music that makes this album stand out - the lyrics are equally as captivating, touching on themes of love, politics, and everything in between. Gartside's poetic wordplay is a marvel to behold, making each song a mini masterpiece in its own right.

In conclusion, "Anomie & Bonhomie" is a sonic gem that deserves a spot in your music collection. Whether you're a longtime fan of Scritti Politti or a newcomer to their sound, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good music with a side of quirkiness.
