Nightingales Birmingham, UK
Robert Lloyd's career began at the start of punk, as leader of Birmingham's best punk band, The Prefects, who were wildly
ahead of their time in experimentation and age, despite their relative youth.
After the band's evolution into The Nightingales, Robert Lloyd become the combo's sole constant member, and he's led the band through a dozen or so brilliant albums across at least as many labels.

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future.

Absolutely LOVE this album. It's SO great to hear these legends energized and busting out killer track after killer track. Three albums in less than a year is a herculean feat, and that each one is brilliant, building on the energy of the one before, well... it's all worth shouting about. Dig this so much, I bought all 3 and donated them to my radio station, KDUR, so we all get to hear them over the air in Colorado. Chuffed to get to play them for others.

I feel this is an album and collaboration that very few will hear but is as big as Sinatra/Hazlewood. The songs are so rich and beautifully recorded. Robert Lloyd deserves the platform that Tiny Global afford him. Hoping his glorious solo album gets the deluxe reissue treatment. Janet Bean is the perfect foil and I hope they get a 2nd outing.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.

The fourth LP from Italy’s Francesca Morello is full of dark-hued, industrial-edged rock songs, delivered with a sneer.

Boston goth/post-punk band True Faith offer two punchy, hooky, perfectly melodramatic cuts on this new 7-inch.

I'll review it when the record arrives. Can't wait. It's here and it's great. Of course.
