Crazy's 2023 purchases

[CRAZY-HORSE]

FEVER RAY  "radical romantics"

release date:  10th March 2023

format owned:  vinyl

chart stats:   #28 BEL, #20 SCOT, #92 SWISS

singles:

"what they call us"..........no chart action
"carbon dioxide".............no chart action
"kandy"

from Switzerland...
their third album, a first for me.....
songs are really out there on their own wavelength but intriguing nonetheless...
sounds like?: if Tori Amos and Peter Gabriel had a lovechild kind of weird...
has a sort of early 1980s new wave sound similar to Visage also, remember them?, they sang "fade to grey"...
a solid retro sounding album...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

her nineth studio album, my nineth also...
a solid collection of mainly ballads with a couple of pop/soft rock tunes in the mix plus a horrid 'doof-doof' song...
Lumineers feature on one track (long way to go), First Aid Kit on another (kids in love) and Chris Stapleton on one also (just say im sorry)...
very good album as always from Alicia Moore.

TEDDY SWIMS  "ive tried everything but therapy pt:I"

release date:  15th September 2023

format owned:  compact disk

chart stats:  #61 US, #15 UK, #20 NZ, #6 AU

singles:
"what more can i say"..........no chart action
"lose control"......................#43 US, #23 CAN, #5 NZ

from the USA
debut album at age 32 (so an obvious late bloomer!)...
real R+B/soul on here which is why i purchased it...
for me, the album starts off real slow and does not really get going until about the halfway mark,
not saying that is bad, just an observation from repeated listens this last week...
a pleasant listen but needed some more 'oomph!' in the songs IMO
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

tracks:

1:   some things i'll never know  **
2:   lose control  **
3:   what more can i say  **
4:   the door  **
5:   goodbyes' been good to you  **
6:   last communion  **
7:   you still get to me  **
8:   suitcase  **
9:   flame  **
10: evergreen  **
