Tonic - Something Ambiguous (Mouthy)
Oh, this makes us long for the so long ago, lazy, hazy days of summer. 1988 I think it was. But really, this mini CD is just chock full of bright, breezy and downright catchy songs, with just the right air of melancholia peeking round the edges. "Remember A Time", for those of with long memories is the offspring of Tops "Livin' Easy.." and with a few doo doos thrown in, is just what we want to hear coming out of our radios.
They're just so damn appealing, but fortunately just staying the right side of saccharine. "Love Song" just makes you go aaah! Think Dodgy before their heads exploded. This is pure pop music before pop became a dirty word. Classic and timeless music, I urge you to check out now.
