I’ve just heard the album of the year - you know when you hear it. And that’s me knowing PJ Harvey is going to release a record this year. Robert Forster is having one. Luke Haines. The Libertines’ LP has no business being bad.
But for the time being - the great
freewheeling spirit of Dan Bejar’s songwriting renders everything else grossly irrelevant. It makes me drunkenly dizzy and fills my
heart with lightness and air. “Hell” is majestic. It all is.
The album is called
Poison Season and will be released by Destroyer
at the end of August.
