Our Take

Manchester legends The Durutti Column have returned with their latest album "Someone Else's Party" and it's like walking into a whimsical, otherworldly soiree where everyone is dressed in clear vinyl. The ethereal guitar riffs dance around you like stardust, while the gentle percussion whispers sweet nothings in your ear.

Vini Reilly's intricate guitar work is the life of the party, effortlessly gliding from one melody to the next with the grace of a seasoned dancer. Tracks like "Number Three" and "Dry" showcase Reilly's mastery of his craft, weaving a tapestry of sound that is both enchanting and mysterious.

The album itself feels like a dream, a hazy, surreal journey through a world of shimmering guitars and shimmering synths. Each track unfolds like a treasure waiting to be discovered, with layers of sounds and textures that reveal themselves with each listen.

"Someone Else's Party" is a testament to The Durutti Column's enduring creativity and innovation. It's a breath of fresh air in a music scene that can sometimes feel stale and repetitive. So grab your clear vinyl suit, pour yourself a glass of champagne, and let The Durutti Column transport you to their magical, musical wonderland. Trust us, you won't want to leave this party.
