Our Take

CORNWELL HUGH's latest offering, "Totem And Taboo," is a delightful romp through the wild and wacky world of post-punk. With influences ranging from The Clash to David Bowie, Cornwell weaves a tapestry of sound that is as unpredictable as it is infectious.

From the opening track, "Ritual Dance," it's clear that Cornwell is here to shake things up. The pulsating beat and frenetic guitar riffs set the stage for an album that is equal parts dance party and introspective journey.

Tracks like "Primitive Instincts" and "Tribal Rhythms" showcase Cornwell's knack for blending catchy hooks with thought-provoking lyrics. The result is a collection of songs that are simultaneously catchy and contemplative, making "Totem And Taboo" a must-listen for fans of intelligent, boundary-pushing music.

But don't let the serious subject matter fool you, this album is also a whole lot of fun. Songs like "Savage Love" and "Shaman's Boogie" are perfect for getting your groove on, while "Ancestral Echoes" is sure to have you pondering the mysteries of life and existence.

In the end, "Totem And Taboo" is a triumph for Cornwell Hugh, showcasing his singular vision and undeniable talent. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, this album is sure to leave you wanting more. So go ahead, give it a spin – you won't be disappointed.
