Reissue des zweiten Albums 'High' (2015) des australischen Punkrock-Quartette Royal Headache aus Sydney. Eiin erfrischend druckvoller und emotionaler Sound, auf den die Trendpresse von Pitchfork bis NME steil gingen. In bester Buzzcocks, The Undertones, Marked Men und erstes The Strokes-Album-Manier. Kritikerstimmen: “Catchy is an understatement.” - Noisey “The saccharine melody and yearning lyrics cultivate a sense of exultation, but Shogun’s delivery is also trenchant. His vocals have attack; every line starts with a jab, followed by a massage, not unlike the Undertones’ singer Feargal Sharkey. Impressively, three years after ‘Royal Headache’, there’s no inkling of diminishing returns for this approach. The essential thrills remain.” - Pitchfork “A frighteningly tantalising return to form, all Kinks power chords and soulboy vocals.” - NME “This is so me.” - Steve Lamacq Tracklisting: 1. My Own Phantasy 2. Need You 3. High 4. Another World 5. Wouldn't You Know 6. Garbage 7. Love Her If I Tried 8. Carolina 9. Little Star 10. Electric Shock
