Soft Boys Underwater Moonlight lp

lp
2010/1980
new
2nd & slightly more reigned in album. Hitchcock's whimsically unnatural songs sometimes have to play 2nd fiddle to the 80s prodcution, & the band's goofy harmony singing has to take a back seat too, but there are some serious breakout moments. There's the vicious, whipcrack intro to 'Old Pervert' for example. 'I Wanna Destroy You' could even pass the Cole Porter songwriting test: it sounds so good you can't believe the world ever existed when it wasn't written. Tracklisting: I Wanna Destroy You, Kingdom of Love, Positive Vibrations, I Got the Hots, Insanely Jealous, Tonight, You'll Have to Go Sideways, Old Pervert, The Queen of Eyes, Underwater Moonlight.
