LIST PICK
LE CYGNE NOIR ANDREW
Electronic-prog maestro Le Cygne Noir has returned with three new tracks: A cover of Thompson Twins’ ‘Doctor! Doctor!’, ‘Skylights’, and the incredible, ‘Andrew’. The latter is arguably the highlight of the release, with its exuberant synth lines evoking the influence of the prog greats, and huge guitar wanderings courtesy of Neil Taylor of Tears For Fears really making their mark on the piece. It's pop music at its heart, but allows itself to get caught up in some impressive eclecticism and complexity. Beyond that, it's memorable music on the highest level, and thoroughly entertaining. Make sure you check out ‘Doctor! Doctor!’ and ‘Skylights’ too. -Dan Peeke.
