What is this thing called Lowe? | |||
He is this, and that, and the other, too. ‘''Pure Pop For Now People''’ is the mystical announcement on the cover, but that’s just one of ol’ bleary eyes’ facets. | |||
To deal with subject matter, Nick likes: Songs about the biz – ‘Music For Money’, ‘So It Goes’ ‘Shake And Pop’, occupying three spaces on this album. | |||
Also: Songs about the biz-arre – ‘Marie Prevost’ tells the cautionary tale of a Hollywood actress who gets chomped by her Fidos, ‘Nutted By Reality’ which ostensibly, is about Fidel Castro being castrated (but for you deep bods it’s about living in the real world rather than on cloud nine). | |||
Also: Fifties romance, ‘Little Hitler’ and especially ‘Tonight’ could have come from Dave Edmunds rock ‘n’ roll heart, so gushing and soft centred. | |||
The sides of Lowe are all here, for they are legion. And they are special. At the butt of this review are five little crucifixes which means “unbeatable”. | |||
That doesn’t mean to say I’m not disappointed or even worried. Because five of the 11 tracks, ‘Heart Of The City’, ‘So It Goes’, ‘Marie Prevost’, ‘I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass’ and ‘They Call It Rock’ (retitled here as ‘Shake And Pop’) have been released already, leaving only six tracks at £3.79 for true fans who’ve already bought up the catalogue. | |||
Music for money, eh Nick? | |||
