As I trailed in the review of Ghosts From Your Past (here) at the start of the month, a new EP was on its way and here it is. We love this lot, one of our main discoveries of the year. Blue To Infinity has the band's feet firmly planted in Indie Rock, yet bar the closer, these six songs sound much more jaunty.
The Title Track sounds like it belongs in the Britpop glory days, all anthem and pace. Modern Girl gets even more upbeat, having a lot in common with the great 80s UK Guitar Pop. It fairly breezes along with a rapid catch all pace.
Tell Her About The World is a much slower smoother affair. A little funky at times, the harmonies are exceptional and the laidback feel breaks things up beautifully with a great guitar solo. It's All Over Now sounds more American.
Americana in fact. Acoustic based, almost a shuffle, almost a campfire song, again underling the variety in the band. I Never Wanna See You Again, as the single, was beloved of LTTW followers, the song is 100mph and doesn't let up.
The closer, Sad & Broken is a real change of mood, sort of Blue Collar, almost Classic Rock. Melancholic but instrumentally beautifully played despite the sadness. I predict a bright future for Janus 4-14, but a lot of that could depend on you.
You can listen to and buy the album here.
