Future Sons & Daughters in Hi-Fi Choice


11 October 2010
Hi-Fi Choice
Malcolm Steward
5 Stars

 Sounding not unlike Beck, but with more of a pop consciousness, this album has a charming retro feel about many of the compositions. Genre hopping from the Beatles to Bossa Nova by way of soft funk, it references a host of musical icons from the sixties and seventies, but clearly avoids sounding derivative or clichéd.

As we have noted with some other albums, this is not the sort of tinkly, audiophile music that people imagine would obviously lend itself to hi-res music. The 24-bit recording simply creates a credible sense of realism, enhancing the soundstage and breathing life and validity into the music.
