Our Take

Hayden Thorpe, the enigmatic former frontman of Wild Beasts, has finally emerged from his cosmic cocoon to bestow upon us his debut solo album "Moondust For My Diamond." And let me tell you, dear reader, it's a glittering gem amidst a sea of mediocrity.

From the opening track, "Diviner," Thorpe's ethereal falsetto cascades like a waterfall of stardust, setting the stage for an otherworldly journey through a sonic landscape that is equal parts haunting and celestial. Tracks like "Earthly Needs" and "Sapphire" showcase Thorpe's mastery of blending delicate melodies with lush, atmospheric production, creating a sonic tapestry that is both introspective and expansive.

But don't be fooled by the dreamy vibes - beneath the surface lies a darker undercurrent, with tracks like "Full Beam" and "Blue Crow" delving into themes of isolation and vulnerability. Thorpe's lyrics are poetic and evocative, drawing you in with their raw emotion and existential ponderings.

Overall, "Moondust For My Diamond" is a transcendent listening experience that will leave you spellbound and yearning for more. Hayden Thorpe has truly cemented his place as a solo artist to watch, and we can only imagine the cosmic wonders that await us in his future musical endeavors. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and prepare to be whisked away on a celestial journey unlike any other. 9.5/10
