Hooray – Delays
Alright, I know I’m supposed to be skeptical of the any music that comes with this kind of glossy sheen, but I just can’t help myself. The new Delays album Everything’s The Rush is overwrought, appeals to some of the impulses that as a music snob I’m supposed to detest, and for all of that remains totally awesome. It’s a dizzying rush of strings and big choruses. In short, if you like sugar (and let’s be honest, we all pretty much do, as much as we might not want to admit it), you’ll like this record. Just try and listen to “Hooray” and not to smile.
