UNLOVED – The Pink Album – 2LP – Black Vinyl

2LP – Black Vinyl housed in aGatefold Sleeve with a matte finish and printed inners.

Unloveds latest release, THE PINK ALBUM, is dawn and dusk, the epic and the intimate. This 22-track double album, its title inspired by the artwork of Julian House, features collaborations with Jarvis Cocker, Etienne Daho, Raven Violet and Jon Spencer. Pink has its modulations: shocking at times but signifying also tenderness, intimacy, the carnal. The Pink Album knows the shades of love, its nuances, and how it can be delicious – and frightening. Marvellous and aching. Rather than be the silver lining to the cloud, The Pink Album mines deeper, to a precious ore, dark and glittering.

Be seduced by the whispered, languorous, bluesy, not so sweet nothings of Love Experiment and the lippy insouciance of Turn of the screw. Thrill to the infinite variety: Mothers been a bad girl is brazen, and I dont like you anymore gloriously sultry. Foolin, where languid, world-weary jazz sounds are skewed by a phantasmagoric organ from a funfair hallucinated, and theres the sparkling fury and celestial chorus of Rainbrose, as though some flower-festooned goddess is emerging.

Go from the jaunty keyboards and hey! hey! hey! of WTC to the melancholic poise of Ever, the jittery electropop of Girl cant help it, to the spacious Morricone-tinged Lucky. Be reminded that the past is a snare, the future doesnt care. All we have is Now. There is psychedelic world-warping sound, but also times when reality is acutely, achingly, present. Number in my phone is a beautiful, wistful paean to those no longer here. Jades remarkable voice – whispering, icy, lush, wounded, smoky – unifies the album with its striking diversity.
