After the idyllic charm of last year's debut single All Packed Up / Don't Drink The Water, Idiot Glee returns with his first album Paddywhack released on Moshi Moshi. 22-year-old James Friley trades in spectral transmissions: multi-layered vocal concoctions that sound like they are emitted from a radio in the past, or coming over an unknown satellite frequency from the future, telling stories about a more idyllic time. Mining an emotional territory between nostalgia and powerful sense of childlike wonder, his rustic arrangements belie a sophis-ticated sense of melody surrounded by palpable magic and mystery. Hypnotic looped vocal samples come into full bloom around beautifully cathartic, slow-burning choral interpretations, all the while retaining a graceful fragility.
