James Righton - The Performer - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

After coming to prominence as the frontman of the Mercury Prize-winning Klaxons, James Righton releases his debut solo album, The Performer. Standing in stark contrast to the electro-hedonism of Righton's work with Klaxons, it instead spins through various points from the 1970 onwards. It touches on the suave art-lounge of Roxy Music, the jangly grooves of R.E.M., the sumptuous psychedelia of latter-day Beach Boys and the songwriting gift of Nick Lowe. Righton uses these classic elements as the groundwork for something which feels at home in 2019. Album Tracks 1. The Performer 2. Edie 3. See the Monster 4. Devil Is Loose 5.
