list by El Paulo

2011 release, the sophomore album from the Manchester-based outfit. Cadenza sees the band stretching their songs into new and unexpected shapes, drawing on the eccentricities of Sparks, the piano methods of Steve Reich and the unhinged Prog-Pop of 'Cardiacs', whilst always retaining at its heart a genuine Pop pulse.This is highbrow pop, unashamed of its pretension and ambition whilst staying fit to bust with hooks. Memphis Industries.
