Description:Tim Brown und Donna McKean von Lunchbox machen seit zwei Jahrzehnten von AM-Radio-Pop und TV-Show-Titelmusik der 1960er/70er Jahre, Punk, C86 und The Jam inspirierte Musik. "After School Special" findet Lunchbox auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer gesanglichen und performerischen Fähigkeiten. Donnas "Carol Kaye-meets-John Entwhistle-Bass" und Tims "Scratch 'n' Jangle"-Gitarre werden durch Bläser von Gary Olson und Jeremy Goody ergänzt, während die Keyboards von Evelyn Davis der LP, entsprechend ihres herbstlich-lyrischen Themas, eine überirdische Stimmung verleihen. Vom flirrenden Opener "Dream Parade" über den Mod-Pop artigen Hit "Hide and Seek", bis hin zu den eindringlichen Gesangsstilen des Titel-Tracks, verschieben sich die Klangstrukturen, während die Einheit der künstlerischen Vision erhalten bleibt. Mitreißend und großartig herübergebracht, ist dies Lunchbox at their very best. -
Lunchbox's Tim Brown and Donna McKean have been making records for two decades, inspired by 1960s/70s AM-radio pop and TV show theme music, punk, C86, and mod à la the Creation and the Jam. "After School Special" finds them at the height of their powers of songcraft and performance. Donna's Carol Kaye-meets-John Entwhistle bass and Tim's scratch 'n' jangle guitar are complemented by horns from Gary Olson and Jeremy Goody, while whisps of analog tape feedback and Evelyn Davis' keyboards give the record an otherworldly vibe in keeping with it's autumnal lyrical themes. From the shimmering opener "Dream Parade" to the horn-driven mod-pop of "Hide and Seek" and the haunting male-female vocal stylings of the title track and album closer, the textures shift while the unity of artistic vision remains. Catchy as hell and beautifully packaged, this is Lunchbox at their very best.1. Dream Parade2. Over Way Too Soon3. Gary of the Academy4. Utopia5. Hide and Seek6. I Really Wanna Know7.
