Our Take

With their latest release, "Short Stories For Pauline," DURUTTI COLUMN takes us on a whimsical journey through musical landscapes that are as complex and fascinating as a Rubik's Cube made of music notes.

From the opening track, "Sketch for Summer," you can tell that this album is going to be anything but ordinary. With its blend of dreamy guitars and ethereal synths, it's like taking a ride on a magical unicorn through a field of shimmering poppies.

Throughout the album, DURUTTI COLUMN shows off their mastery of blending different genres and sounds. Tracks like "Otis" seamlessly combine elements of jazz, folk, and electronica, creating a sound that is as unpredictable as British weather.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Fado," a hauntingly beautiful ode to Portuguese folk music. With its melancholic melodies and sweeping strings, it's like being transported to a tiny cafe in Lisbon, sipping on a glass of port and contemplating the mysteries of the universe.

Overall, "Short Stories For Pauline" is a delightful and charming album that proves once and for all that DURUTTI COLUMN is in a league of their own. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let yourself be swept away by the enchanting sounds of this magical musical journey. Trust me, you won't regret it.
