EP is a rare Treat by Adam Horovitz As reported in the Stroud News and Journal. Wednesday 19th October, 2005 Popgang's new EP is of those rare treats - a zeitgeist-driven pop record that, despite its parochial origins could have been released on any good indie label. Opening track Spacerock lives up to its name, being happy, hypnotic and pleasingly squelchy in the synth department, while Deltic builds up slowly to a mantra-like romantic refrain. December stretches Rob Evans' normal detached vocals into warm and ever so slightly punky territory, a little like later period Magazine. Final track Tescos is a revelation, though. Spiced with an infuriatingly catchy synthesised whistle and littered with enough hooks to catch a stream-full of fish, this should have been the opening track and would play very well on the radio, given that it is a big dumb pop song of the very best sort. www.thisisstroud.com
