Tullycraft – Lost in Light Rotation

Album Review by Chris McCall | 28 Feb 2013
Album title: Lost in Light Rotation
Artist: Tullycraft
Label: Fortuna POP!
Release date: 4 March

Lost in Light Rotation comes bouncing through your speakers like a rubber ball dropped from a third floor window. Yet behind these sub-three minute guitar pop songs, full of upbeat hooks and sing-a-long choruses, there lies some surprisingly mature themes and arch observations.

These are not simple tales of love as you might expect, but complicated adult relationships, like that detailed on Westchester Turnabouts. But then Tullycraft have been around since 1995 and been releasing records on-and-off ever since. They are no longer love-struck 20-somethings.

Highlights include Sean Tollefson’s well-timed conversational vocals, which are sweetened by some tremendous call-and-response backing from Jenny Mears. It's impossible to listen to Tullycraft and not be reminded of the great DIY pop bands that went before them, such as The June Brides or The Shop Assistants. But what they might lack in originality, they make up for in their self-awareness and good humour. [Chris McCall]
