Feel Good Hits Of A Nuclear Winter
words by Charlotte Rumsey
Refreshingly off-trend, Laurel Collective’s ‘Feel Good Hits of a Nuclear Winter’ is an oddball and eclectic debut album release - unsurprising, considering members hail from as far as Nigeria and Italy, as well as England and Wales. Having been London live favourites for some time, ‘Feel Good Hits…’ confirms what debut single ‘Vuitton Blues’ suggested - the songs lose none of their energy on record. Blissfully free of electronic blips and squeals, Laurel Collective have a quirky pop-sensibility that compares them to Dexy’s.7/10 in stores now
