Cause Célèbre (2014, 28.44) ****

Fan Modine are a prime powerpop outfit, with not a jot of that tiresome indie influence that creeps into many of their contemporaries' recordings. Cause Célèbre is really rather splendid, top tracks including opener (and single) Épater La Bourgeoisie, despite (or because of?) its Please Please Me vocal melody rip, First Fruits And Tenths, Tapestry (which sounds a lot like The Who) and superb closer Rich Girls In Wellingtons. Not a dud in sight, frankly. However, Gordon Zacharias' Mellotron credit turns out to be no more than a wash of background sampled strings on Épater La Bourgeoisie.

Artist reply: "The credit refers to the harpsichord sound used. But maybe it was Mitch Easter's Chamberlin, come to think of it."

Birdie is wonderful. I practically pray every night that 2021 (or 2022?) could have a series of shows in the UK and Europe where it's a Dolly Mixture reunion with Birdie as the delightful opening act. Also, it should be a publicly announced and well-promoted tour!! Please??? Agitated_Psykick
