Our Take
Our Take
THOMAS GILES' latest offering, "Velcro Kid," is a musical journey that delights and perplexes in equal measure. The album opens with a cacophony of synth-laden beats that feel like they're straight out of a retro sci-fi flick, setting the quirky tone for what's to come.
One can't help but be drawn in by Giles' unique vocal delivery, which ranges from haunting whispers to soaring falsettos. His lyrics are equally distinctive, exploring themes of love, loss, and existential dread with a hint of dark humour that is both unsettling and enchanting.
The production on "Velcro Kid" is slick and polished, with layers of intricate instrumentation that give each track a rich, textured feel. From the pulsating electronic beats of "Milan" to the dreamy, ethereal vibes of "Radiation Flowers," Giles pulls out all the stops to create a sonic experience that is nothing short of mesmerising.
But beneath the glossy surface lies a sense of unease, a creeping feeling that all is not quite right in the world Giles has created. It's this juxtaposition of the shiny and the sinister that makes "Velcro Kid" such a compelling listen, leaving you simultaneously tapping your foot and looking over your shoulder.
In conclusion, "Velcro Kid" is a bold and boundary-pushing album that cements THOMAS GILES' status as a true musical maverick. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those willing to take the plunge, it's a journey you won't soon forget.
