The Boo Radleys - Kingsize

Review by Tansy Bradshaw

Boo Radleys' album Kingsize is a masterpiece that showcases the band's versatility and talent. The album features a range of musical styles, from the dreamy pop of "Free Huey" to the grunge-inspired "Bluebird." The standout track is undoubtedly "Wake Up Boo!," a catchy and upbeat tune that became an instant classic upon its release. The album's production is excellent, with lush instrumentation and layered vocals that create a rich and immersive listening experience. Kingsize is a must-have for fans of alternative rock and pop, and it remains a timeless classic that stands the test of time.

About The Boo Radleys

last ned album The Boo Radleys - Kingsize

English alternative rock band founded in Wallasey, Merseyside, England in 1988, disbanded in 1999 and reunited in 2020 without original member Martin Carr. Though the central cast of characters has been the same all along, it seems as if there's been three Boo Radleys. From nutty noise merchants to shoegazing dreampoppers to classic pop thoroughbreds gone Top 40 in the UK, it's been a long and strange path to European stardom for this Liverpool group that has never managed to crack the US. Members: Rob Cieka: drums Simon Sice Rowbottom: vocals/guitar Timothy Brown: bass/guitar/keyboards Ex members: Martin Carr - guitar, vocals, keyboards (1988-1999) Rob Harrison - drums (1988-1990) Steve Hewitt - drums (1990)

Finally..The Boo Radleys in full melodic glory. Kingsize is one of the greatest guitar based pop records of the 90's and completely underappreciated. With baroque, chamber pop like flourishes and wonderful imaginative arrangements, Kingsize updates the sound of The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Big Star etc. with an E.L.O like enthusiasm but, unlike say Spilt Milk (also great), this is no homage or pastiche. Not as arch as Blur or pedestrian as Oasis, The Boo's transcend their influences with great feeling and make a thoroughly modern sound (Think a warmer more heartfelt Super Furry Animals) Melodies and harmonies abound in clouds of euphoric pop magic. It sounds like the Boo Radleys always really wanted too and here the songwriting matches their ambitions. Wonderful.
