Suego Faults (Atlantic)

Two years since he burst onto the blogging scene and quickly established himself as an ‘exciting’ act, it’s fair to say that Max McElligott's debut album is long overdue. Much like his work to date – vibrant and explosive synth-heavy pop, all sparkly and golden psychedelia – it’ll be sufficiently pleasing to those already aware of his talents, even given the lengthy wait they’ve had to endure. It’s fun. But anyone with an opposition to the 80s – or cheese – should probably keep their distance.

Cutting Corners EP (1965)

Besides from not actually being an EP (only 2/5 songs here are new), this won’t be as God-awful as some might expect. Perhaps a little more serious and genuine than 'Same Jeans' et al., but still with similar musical stylings, this is far from good… but could be lots worse. Honest.
