It's always nice to have a surprising and strong new album come out of the leftfield at this late point in the year just as the rest of the music business is packing up and heading off for Christmas. This year that record seems to be Rorschached the second album from Brooklyn's Miracle Sweepstakes.
Take their lead from soft Psychedelic Baroque bands like The Left Banke The Zombies and Syd's Floyd, the early dBs, The Three O'Clock and Olivia Tremor Control, Rorschached is sweet, understated and immaculately crafted Pop music for the sensitive. Eleven songs that will stir rather than shake you but there are moments of true, pure loveliness here. Not miraculous perhaps but certainly rather special. It would probably be in my Top 50 album list but sadly it's arrived just too late. Honorary mention anyhow!
