商品の紹介
| The Bank of England was the swan song 1998 third LP by a decade-old Reading band that originally recorded for Bristols 1987-1995 Sarah label, released on Sarah co-head Matt Haynes successor label, Shinkansen (also home of Trembling Blue Stars, who, like an older Blueboy lineup, included Harvey Williams). Blueboy, named for a brilliant, pricklier Orange Juice song, were no standard issue effeminate Sarah delicacy like stalwarts the Field Mice. The Bank of England lovingly looked back at the prematurely faded 1988-1994 shoegaze/dream pop sound they’d witnessed from the periphery. It’s there, from the divine Kitchens of Distinction/Cocteau Twins/Slowdive guitar float of "Love Yourself," to the more urgent Pale Saints/Adorable/Revolver ride of "Miss U.K." and "By Appointment," to the House of Love mystery on "Jennifer Yeah," to the breezy Lush/Carnival of Light-era Ride/Moose trip of jangle-single "Marco Polo." Blueboy were more mannered than the above, but still quintessentially English; top-shelf guitarist Paul Stewart had all the reverb, distortion, and delay that lovers of subconscious guitars favored, paired with other remaining original member Keith Girdlers boyish vocals -- and Cath Closes frequent dulcet duets. But they were also British in that the songs were so interestingly plotted with poetic words, with equal subtleties in Stewarts riffs and chord patterns. Blueboys post-release demise was a shame, following two London gig -- in favor of already-going side project Arabesque and eventually, Beaumont -- but the 2004 cancer death of Girdler proved the real tragedy. The Bank of England is his worthy monument. ~ Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover |

| The third and final outing from twee pop masters Blueboy marks an interesting, if ultimately somewhat disappointing, conclusion to the Reading, England, bands history. With three new members augmenting the core duo of Keith Girdler and Paul Stewart, the group cranks the guitars surprisingly loud on songs like "Jennifer Yeah!," and even more traditionally gentle songs like the charming single "Marco Polo" get a more aggressive rhythmic underpinning. The muscle isnt as intrusive as youd first expect, but Girdlers vocals are sometimes a casualty, getting lost in the denser mix. Meanwhile, new vocalist Cath Close takes over the departed Gemma Davis role as female foil, impressing on the atmospheric "Braford, Texas" but falling a trifle short on the somber, acoustic guitar-and-strings "Disco Bunny." Good as The Bank of England often is, it doesnt reach the heights attained consistently on the bands first album, or sporadically on the half-brilliant followup, Unisex. Following the release, the band retired from live performance, then split; Girdler and Stewart later regrouped, first as Arabesque, and then (with Close as a participant) as Beaumont. ~ Dan LeRoy |
