The Power of Love

Captain Sensible

A bright, electro-processed snapshot of 1983 British pop. Slick digital textures meet anti-war sentiments and surrealist whimsy under a polished synth-pop veneer.

It's what happens when a punk legend makes a synth-pop record with a Soft Boy and a kitchen's worth of percussion.

A polished, slightly detached sense of wonder mixed with quiet political resolve.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The metallic, hollow snap of the oil can percussion on Glad It's All Over giving the track a unique, found-object rhythm.
The transition into the Pink Floyd cover It Would Be So Nice where Sensible's deadpan delivery meets lush, psychedelic synth layers.
The way the backing vocals from Dolly Mixture provide a sugary, choral contrast to the clinical electronic production.
