My Review: Girlfriends and Boyfriends - Fallacy of Fairness

Girlfriends and Boyfriends - Fallacy of Fairness

How much do you like Canada's overlook on England, with songs that seem to have been inspired by the old land of Albion?

It's been two years but this album endures, still acerbic and melodic, with virtues that don't wither because it bears witness to a time that cannot be forgotten.

This Post-Punk is a river, a lake, a cool square that blows on the dust of the 80s and moves everything towards Manchester, London, Sheffield, as a bow to the history those cities were able to create. The songs flow fast, impetuous and robust, kilos and kilos of drumming full of bones, with the bass pushing, the guitars full of asbestos and well articulated to arouse continuous emotions, the keyboard is always melancholic and the melodies are so easily welcoming, generating tumult and looks full of thoughts, like a torrent full of colours that can enchant even if they are yellowing...

There are many, many moments in this overflowing work where one has the feeling that the best of those memorable years have been summed up and explained in a perfect way.

All you have to do is start listening and you will be in the midst of the poetry of a cloud that eternity will not be able to sweep away...
