ANDREW
CREAM – 'Self Portrait' review
I'd
never heard of ANDREW CREAM before this, but his stuff is really
pretty wonderful; kind of full band acoustic / folky pop-punk stuff
that's really bright and energetic with really catchy vocal melodies
and choruses. I had to check that this wasn't the vocalist from the
amazing ABOVE THEM because his tone of voice is quite similar, and
actually I guess it's not too far off musically either (apart from
the acoustic-ness of course), which is never a bad thing. There are
some really posi lyrics on here too about finding yourself, becoming
who you want to be, and other lovely bits of personal politics, which
makes it a really fun and uplifting listen. I've had this on in the
car quite frequently for a while now, but I could pretty much listen
to it at any time, whether I felt up or down, and that's a pretty
rare thing. So yeah, really glad I got asked to review this, and you
should totally check it out if you need a lift, or you just like some
folky pop-punk!
