Angus Crowne and the Family Jewels – “Everybody Wants To See Me Happy”
I am totally obsessed with Angus Crowne and the Family Jewels’ new album “Everybody Wants To See Me Happy”. From the first track of the album, it’s clear this isn’t just another release, it’s a experience. Uke-Billy-Punk Rock maestro Angus Crowne delivers his most impressive work yet. The way Angus Crowne seamlessly combines aggressive punk elements with tender jazzy sections remains a mystery to me.
The album’s opening track sticks in your mind while “Lullaby Blues Revisited” creates a mood that keeps you listening through the night. The recording sessions at Steady Studios in Burbank produced a sound that is both clear and unprocessed while maintaining intense emotional depth. The musical offspring of Queen and The Clash and Talking Heads produces a magnificent result.
The musical storytelling in this album delivers a perfect lesson that keeps me constantly pressing the replay button.
