Liverpool pioneers The Boo Radleys are back with a new single ‘The Unconscious. It follows ‘Seekers’ from January of this year and their fine comeback album ‘Keep On With Falling’ from 2022.
The Radleys last album was lit up with great alt-pop songs like ‘Keep On With Falling’ and ‘A Full Syringe and Memories of You’. The disco licks and orchestral majesty took their archetypal sonic to new pastures whilst lyrically, Sice was dealing with some tumultuous personal issues.
The Unconscious follows this path as Sice lays bear his two years spent in psychoanalysis, a venture that would ultimately go wrong for the frontman. This tale on the couch dealing with deep-seated pain should be set to endless layers of guitars howling into the ether to recreate that guttural feeling. Not for the Radleys. Ska riffs and bombastic soul via brass burst into the best party you have attended in years.
Two singles into 2023 and their next album ‘Eight’ is shaping up to be one of the best of the year already. Click the image below for tickets to their tour with Cud and the tour of the classic album ‘Giant Steps’:
