Tap Tap - Lanzafame (2006) (@256)

My latest obsession is Pete & the Pirates album "Little Death". Full of moments of pop brilliance that combine witty melodies, affecting arrangement and warm, friendly vocals, with all songs (but one) not lasting more than three minutes makes it impossible to stop listening to it. Here we have the triumph of the simple song over the trend of compositions striving to hide the composer's loss of inspiration over overburdened layers of pompous productions.

Here is "Come On Feet", a true indie-pop masterpiece, captured live in Manchester Road House (one of my favourite venues when I was living there btw).



Tomas Sanders, the lead singer of P&tP, is also the main man behind Tap Tap, who released the album "Lanzafame" which was scandalously neglected two years ago and is based on the same blueprint with "Little Death". The connection between the two projects is apparent: both albums contain versions of the song "She Doesn't Belong (To Me)", while Pete And The Pirates play many of the tracks from Lanzafame during their live sets.
