Panna Cotta

Label BMG Reviewer @aldothewriter Rating  Winston Surfshirt is so smooth, listening to Panna Cotta is like sliding down a mental slippery dip. Close your eyes and you’re floating in a pool, sipping on a fruity cocktail, with zero cares and a watermelon on your head. It is impossible to listen to the entire thing without drifting off into daydreams full of sun and happiness (whatever you do, don’t listen to it driving). ‘There’s Only One’, featuring Genesis Owusu, is the closest I’ve come to meditation in a while. They need to do an entire album together, so we can all achieve nirvana.

ANDY BULL

People You Love

Label Universal Reviewer @aldothewriter Rating  Andy Bull makes me feel old. I remember when he first burst into our ears and now I consider him a stalwart and veteran of the local scene, yet I’m pretty sure he’s younger than me. It’s kind of like when you realise you are now older than every professional sportsperson in the country. On People You Love, Bull once again proves he is an undisputed master of songcraft. I would love to see him perform completely stripped back though. Just him and an acoustic guitar. Clothes as well, I guess. It would be weirdly intimate if he didn’t at least wear pants.

NOFX

Double Album

Label Fat Wreck Chords Reviewer @aldothewriter Rating  It is astonishing that NOFX haven’t burnt out yet. Not only that, in their latest band photo they look healthier than ever! Punk rock truly is humankind’s greatest elixir. Double Album is not a double album (as far as I know), but it is a very good album, and could have been released at their peak twenty years ago, such is the energy. Sure, they’ve been smashing out the same Spag Bol for thirty-odd years, but we don’t go to Nonna’s for her take on Asian fusion, do we? A welcome addition to an epic discography, and one for the grey heads with the fading tattoos.
