Kenny Glasgow 'Circus Tales' (No 19 music)
When ‘Without You’ came out as a B-side back in 2010, Art Department were just the shot in the arm that dance music needed: the mournful, soulful track came to define the summer and paved the way for Tale Of Us et al. Now Kenny is flying solo with an album (his second) that delivers from every angle. The production is world-class, the grooves are just what clubs like Cocoon/DC10 need and the robo-vocoder vocals are moody and meditative rather than trite and obvious, with ‘Interactive Entertainment’ and ‘Come On’ just two of the highlights. With a proper sense of LP flow and a touch of acid and 6AM drama for the heads, this is one circus we advise you to visit.
