Every so often, the sound of being a teenager comes along for everyone to revel or rejoice in. George has exquisitely retold Romeo & Juliet from a humble beginning. Dreary landscapes with nothing to do form their rebellion and thus, inform this scuzzy doomed dream.
Boring suburbs are lit up with infectious melodies, Norman Blake–esque vocals, and hapless teenage romanticism. It’s the perfect landscape for the endless summers of youth. Ones that have been tragically ripped away from too many this past year.
By George have reminded those over 25 what they had and, what we should be striving to give back to future generations post-covid. For those in the throes of youth, their hope and despair have been given a great outlet. On this showing, ‘The Life of Guy’ is shaping up to be a must listen album.
