Take a listen to Kids In Glass Houses’ latest release ‘Dirt’ and I promise that you won’t be able to stop yourself from loving it.
Heaps of credit and praise go to these young Welsh lads, who have not only topped their first release ‘Smart Casual,’ but have also created a grown up, witty, sensitive and catchy as hell album full of hits and an unforgettable duet with Frankie Sandford from pop group The Saturdays, which, although it really shouldn’t, works tremendously well.
Of course, the album’s single releases ‘Matters At All’ and ‘Undercover Lover’ (featuring Frankie) are pure pop induced works of genius, but unlike many other albums, the genius doesn’t stop there. For starters, ‘Lilli Rose’ is a gorgeous flurry of pop punk melodies, culminating in a fantastically feel good track. The same can be said for ‘Sunshine’ which really gives off sparks of greatness as lead singer Aled’s vocals wind effortlessly through its fist pumping, chanting chorus.
The album keeps its punk tinged energy throughout thanks to the danceable ‘Maybe Tomorrow’ and the shattering ‘Hunt The Haunted.’ Every track on the album could be played on repeat for hours without ever getting tiresome. Ending on part 2 of opening track ‘Artbreaker,’ the album seals itself perfectly into a neat, successful little package, selling itself as the ultimate feel good album of the summer.
