Not sure if we are in the midst of JanglePop revival or I've got trapped in Jangle chamber but beside Duck LTD, 2nd Grade and The Umbrellas here some other notable releases this year

The Shop Windows - Daysdream
https://theshopwindow.bandcamp.com/album/daysdream
Based on the album title this one leans more to atmospheric/dream side of JanglePop

Humdrum -  Every Heaven
https://heyhumdrum.bandcamp.com/album/every-heaven
On Slumberland Records this one is a bit more upbeat not unlike say The Mighty Lemon Drops

Sy Smith - Until We Meet Again

Order this album which came in this nifty USB drive tucked inside a cassette case.  USB drives includes the album in both WAV and MP3 format, the instrumental versions of the tracks and a couple of extras.  What was interesting were two WAV files of the A and B side of vinyl release.

Ok so Second Coming definitely suffers a bit from being released in the era of 80 minute length CDs, there is some fat that could have been trimmed to make a tight 40 minute Vinyl album.  Not that the extra 40 minutes are necessarily bad, just seems like songs easily released as B-sides.  IMHO album still stands up, will never tire of John Squire's guitar work and like peak Primal Scream Ian's vocal are not entirely the focus...

I want to like it
I tried to like it
I never listen to it anymore

Ten storey love song is the only song that has those classic Stone Roses vibes…

The intro is too long, but Breaking Into Heaven is essential, as is Love Spreads.

Everything in between is just OK, beneath the band's standards. I'm just grateful for the two bangers on the album.

"The Foz" and the pretentious endless hidden silent CD tracks in between the real album and that dreck are an early-90s thing that is thankfully no longer a thing. (Not all hidden tracks are bad, just the practice of hiding them and making us have to forward all the empty tracks on the CD or put up with a lot of silence.)

It’s not divisive
it’s just lame
Doesn’t hold a candle to any other other work
I guess maybe if you just pulled out squire’s guitar work and listen to that maybe it would be enjoyable
