MODERN NATURE by
THE CHARLATANS is the first album from 2015 that i've bought this year. And i like it so much it wouldn't surprise me if it will eventually appear in my Top 10 list of this year - even though we've still got nearly 11 months to go for that. But what a great record it is. Mostly uplifting soulful songs with a pretty summery vibe, despite the fact that the circumstances for making this album after the tragic death of their drummer
Jon Brookes were not so bright at all. It's got hammond organs, funky guitars, catchy hooks and basslines. More than once it vaguely reminded me of both
New Order and
Primal Scream, until i realised that this album actually simply sounds like
The Charlatans, 25 years after their debut album
Some Friendly. The edition i have is the double LP on heavy gold vinyl; the second disc contains 4 bonus tracks. It also includes a fold-out poster insert with lyrics on the other side. The whole package looks gorgeous.
