Super Water Sympathy belongs to a genre they created called water pop, so whats that all about? This new album blends rock with a poppy edge with something the band call "symphonic ambience". That is water pop, well it sounds amazing is all i can say. They also stand out apart from the field, bringing something quirky and different and exciting to an often drab and samey music scene.
The lead-off track "Uh oh!" is jaunty and fun with powerful vocals, the following "Purple poppies" is even better though with its beautiful yet varied melodies. "Pipe dream" starts off with a haunting melody and builds into another great pop rock track.
"Sunday school dress" is a poppy stomp full of great hooks. "When you are not around" starts with a beautiful piano melody and builds into an atmospheric epic of a track. "Shadow" is another great track, uptempo and another strong vocal performance underpinned by dancey synths and a powerful hook-laden chorus.
A great album chock full of great pop songs. This is "water pop", lets hope we hear a lot more of it.
Hydrogen Child will be released in April 2013 on In Music We Trust
