Brideshead - Never Grow Up (2015)

2015 release from the German pop musicians containing nine newly recorded songs, plus 2014's single "The Mermaid" and the four gems from the "Comeback" 10". The album is a dream soundtrack for a serene summer day where '90s Swedish pop and '80s jangle mingle in the air. Bask in a bath of jangly guitars, timeless melodies and gentle vocals by a band once called "the best English-vocal band currently around in Germany." They combine the finest moments from classic pop - the summer of 1982 (Orange Juice and The Pale Fountains), the class of 1986 (Mighty Mighty, McCarthy, The Brilliant Corners, and The Bodines) and the freshness of 1990s Swedish pop (Eggstone and The Cardigans). Layers of guitars, bass, drums, and trumpet with Martin's vocals to tie it all together. This is surely the record of the summer!
