We have been waiting for this full length to drop ever since we were tased by the lead single a month or so ago. There was already no doubting James Alexander Bright's chops but this Athens of the North album proves them beyond doubt. It is a vibrant fusion of his multi-instrumentalist skills with boogie, soul, disco and funk all coalescing into something new but run through with a timeless authenticity. 'Straight Line' brings squelchy boogie vibes and a hooky falsetto, while 'Fall For You' is more yacht-rock style soul. There are then bouncy but tender cuts like 'Catch My Breath' and intimate pieces like 'I Feel Alive' (feat Letherette) all making this one of the year's standouts.
