Album is…. Jonquil \u2013 Point of Go (2012)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Review:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s difficult to define Oxford, UK-based Jonquil; although they undeniably appeal to fans of sunny pop numbers, but don\u2019t let the \u2018pop\u2019 distinction fool you into assuming their sound resembles what you might find on mainstream radio. It\u2019s filled with floating chords and memorable melodies, but approaches each song in a way that feels familiar yet continuously surprises the listener. The band has released two albums as a six-piece outfit, but now reemerges as a quartet with\u00a0Point of Go<\/em>.<\/p>\n The lineup change isn\u2019t the only aspect that makes this LP new territory for the group. Up until now, most of the band\u2019s recording has taken place in bedrooms and makeshift studios. For this album, they took to a farmhouse studio to create something with a more professional construction.<\/p>\n \u201cThe real main difference is the production, absolutely,\u201d bassist and trumpeter Sam Scott says. \u201cWe were able to focus on the writing process without having to worry about learning the mechanics of the whole thing.\u201d<\/p>\n The professional setup obviously fostered creativity within the group, as the project was completed in a relatively short period of time. \u201cWe wrote and recorded the whole thing in about six weeks,\u201d Scott continues. \u201cWe were quite pleased with how quickly we wrote it.\u201d<\/p>\n The result of this creative immersion is 11 infectious, tracks made for summer.<\/p>\n \u201cWe tried to catch the sound and make it nice and crisp and clear,\u201d he mentions. \u201cAnd we succeeded quite quickly so that was a nice thing to take away from it.\u201d<\/p>\n The band has described the album as being more \u201caccessible\u201d than their previous work, citing influences that span decades. As fans themselves of artists like Fleetwood Mac, Earth, Wind, & Fire and The Smiths, it\u2019s obvious that the band recognizes that accessible, listenable music doesn\u2019t have to lack in meaning and significance.<\/p>\n \u201cI really think it\u2019s definitely pop songs,\u201d said Scott, \u201cthinking about catchy chords and pop songs while still keeping our character.\u201d<\/p>\n Myspace<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OH BOY OH BOY!
