And after teasing fans with three singles over the last year or so, Jamie Jazz and his mob are finally set to release a proper dose of their heady, punked up, and oh so joyful indie power-pop in the form of debut album <i>\u2018All The Sides Of A Circle\u2019<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Opener and title track <i>\u2018All The Sides Of A Circle\u2019<\/i> sees a spoken word delivered by Jamie Jazz over swelling chords, before breakneck riffs light the blue touch paper that really brings the record to life. Things only get better on <i>\u2018H.O.P.E\u2019<\/i>, a song complete with boisterous gang vocals over an angular grooving 80s soundtrack and the first of several great bass lines.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>There aren\u2019t any points where <i>\u2018All The Sides Of A Circle\u2019<\/i> drop below its smile inducing upbeat tone. But with rambunctious and instantly life affirming shout along chorus hooks, <i>&lsquo;Pleased To Meet You<\/i>&rsquo; and later <i>\u2018Let Your Heart Sing\u2019<\/i> both provide the album\u2019s feelgood euphoric high points. <\/p>\n<p>Most recent single <i>&#8216;London In The Rain&rsquo; <\/i>is the closest things get to a downer. But even here Jazz delivers a breakup song that replaces emotion and bitterness with optimism and reason. All backed by purposeful guitars that skip along with interspersed driving drums.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s more spoken word vocals on the super indie <i>&#8216;P.E.A.C.E&rsquo;<\/i>, that peaks into a big jangling fun chorus that\u2019s kind of reminiscent of acts like The Holloways on absolute top form. Meanwhile <i>&#8216;East LDN Dance Party&rsquo;<\/i> combines a brilliantly judged build with a chaotically blended array of genres, and time signatures with delightfully eclectic results.<\/p>\n<p>Chilled out reflective vibes then take over on <i>&#8216;Destroy Us, Destory Eveything&rsquo;<\/i> underpinned by echoing synths and meandering guitar lines to create a track much larger in scope and scale than anything else on the album. This spills over onto the shuffling drums and swirling synths of <i>\u2018Love Is Dead\u2019<\/i>, before <i>\u2018Dancing On Broken Glass\u2019<\/i> brings the record to a close with its most out and out punk rock moment.<\/p>\n<p>In <i>\u2018All The Sides Of A Circle\u2019<\/i>, <b>Bleach Blood<\/b> have produced something quite rare in modern music, a record that resonates unremittingly and unapologetically with positivity. Jazz has created both a band and a sound with such an enthusing vibrancy and charm that this whole album just begs to be listened to and enjoyed again and again.<\/p>\n<p>4\/5<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;All The Sides Of A Circle&rsquo;<\/em> by <strong>Bleach Blood<\/strong> is out now on <strong>Transmission Recordings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bleach Blood<\/strong> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bleachbloodmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/bleachblood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bleachbloodmusic.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tumblr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Dane Wright (<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mrdanewright\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@MrDaneWright<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been quite a while now since Londoner\u2019s Bleach Blood first started making waves with their first EP &#8211; \u2018The Young Heartbreakers Club\u2019.
