With her new project Holidays On Ice and their new album ‘Pillage Before Plunder’, that voice is as intimate and gloriously addictive as ever. Album opener ‘Great Big Old World’ is beautifully subdued, allowing Angie to almost whisper the lyrical philosophies of life. She shares the vocal duties with fellow band member Dean Manning (formerly of Leonardo’s Bride) on ‘Fortune’, a slightly sweeter offering, before lead single ‘Dust Bunnies’ is given the chance to weave it’s magic. Instrumental track ‘Plunkett Street Push’ rewinds to a bygone golden age of British pop while ‘No Roses Grow On A Sailor’s Grave’ crosses genres and generations, New Order-esque sounds infused with some almost ‘60s pop sensibilities. On the moody ‘Out Of The Mud’, Angie’s vocals are like honey, the soundtrack almost haunting. ‘Eat A Peach’ weaves a little Francaise into the mix and ‘Ribbon Round A Bomb’ explodes out of nowhere in a cacophony of crashing drums and electric guitars. The whimsical ‘Mr Gould’s Treasure Chest’ is intriguingly beautiful, so too the album closer ‘Dog House’ with it’s almost carnival feel. While ‘Pillage Before Plunder’ might not be to everyone’s tastes (we most certainly wouldn’t class it a ‘pop’ record), there’s plenty of beauty to be found amongst it’s 11 eclectic tracks. And Angie’s voice, as always, is a treat to listen to.
