Aldous RH is fast becoming a favourite here at TMR with his wonky take on indie pop. His weird and wonderfully upbeat new single 'Birdlife' is the follow up to the docile wooziness of 'Feelin' Blue'. The Connan Mockasin reference still stands on 'Birdlife' but there is an injection of energy which quickly elevates it from easy listening to summer banger status. An irresistibly funky bass line glues everything together on this one, as Aldous' ear for melody shines through with a soulful Thundercat- esque chorus. 'Feelin' Blue' and 'Birdlife' will be available as a double A-side on limited edition 7" vinyl via Handsome Dad Records from today. -HLMX
