Compasses Go Wild

A few weeks ago I featured Close Lobsters at this place and asked myself how their new album after a very long hiatus will be and if it is possible that they can continue their great work. And I have to say yes. The Lobsters play as the time didn't pass since the 80's. You can say it is retro but if it is this way I totally agree. There are so many songs on this album with jangly guitars and great melodies and I can sink into this in these days.

The Class Of 86

A few days ago I read the news that Close Lobsters are going to release their first album after an absence from over 30 years. The reviews told that the continue where they left. I didn't listen to any of their new songs yet but I took it as a chance to grab out their old records drifting back to those days when NME released their groundbreaking compilation C86. Scottish Close Lobsters were always a favorite of mine and I felt good with their chiming Rickenbacker sound and their ability to create fantastic indie pop-rock songs. Looking forward if they can still hold their level.
