Thomas Bush Presents “The Next 60 Years”
#thomasbush #vinyl #indiemusic
Prepare for a journey into the depths of England’s old demons with Thomas Bush’s third solo album, “The Next 60 Years,” released on Guy Gormley’s Jolly Discs label. Building on the success of his previous works, including the acclaimed debut “Old And Red” and the mesmerizing LP “Preludes,” Bush delivers a captivating collection of DIY chamber pop abstraction that embraces melancholy while refusing to succumb to despair.
From the haunting opener “Same Life Flowed,” with its baroque harpsichord flourishes, to the introspective depths of “Thirsting” and the despondent echoes of “Mulligan,” Bush invites listeners into his world of crumpled ‘n creased sonic landscapes. Yet, amidst the gloom, there are moments of unexpected beauty and resilience. Tracks like “Burn Clear” and “Face In The Water” showcase Bush’s knack for blending Robert Wyatt-esque vocals with brash synth chords, creating a weirdly anthemic atmosphere.
As the album draws to a close with the elegiac guitar picks of “X-trails,” listeners are left with a sense of having experienced something truly intimate and profound. “The Next 60 Years” resonates with the broken intimacy of Flaming Tunes and the quintessential English eccentricity of artists like Leven Signs and Hamster Records, promising to be a timeless addition to your musical journey for years to come.
