Grand Pavilion – Foreign Escapes
Foreign Escapes is laden with super sweet, soulful synth pop that isn’t afraid to test the boundaries of experimentation with different samples and production techniques.
Tom Hunt’s vocals mesmerise with each line he delivers; intertwine this with the guest vocals from Loretta Angus on Anywhere and you have something truly special.
Despite exploring some deep ideas and emotions, such as lost friends and lovers, the duo have kept the songs ambiguous enough that the heaviness of the heart and soul remains, but you can’t help but find yourself swaying along to the melodies in perennial bliss.
Star Rating: ***1/2
