EMF - Beauty & The Beast (CD)

Details: 2024 release, the first studio album from the British band in nearly 30 years. The Beauty and The Chaos, finds the band at their full creative tilt delivering classic EMF, and sees the band re-united with Ralph Jezzard, who produced their worldwide hit 'Unbelievable' and their first 2 albums (Schubert Dip and Stigma). This energetic and diverse album features 10 finely crafted songs, with the opening track and first single 'Hello People' setting the tone, with it's indie grove and it's call to stand with tolerance against the hate-myths of immigration. A further 9 songs take the listener on a musical rollercoaster embracing Techno punk (Reach For The Lasers), Nasty Northern Soul (Read The Room), Swampy Electronica (I've Been Down), Prog Punk (Stardust) and Trip Trop gospel (Lookout Mountain), before the psychedelic Do It Again, a song about trying to grow up but failing, closes this sumptuous debut album in the best possible way. The CD album features two bonus tracks; a remix of the first single Hello People featuring the great Stephen Fry and a remake of the Monkees cover 'I'm A Believer'.
