about

To put the new NEWDS album in a COVID-context: it's as if you've made a home-delivery order for THE BEATLES and ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS and they deliver you DANIEL JOHNSTON and ELLIOT SMITH instead wearing mop-top-wigs: high in - and on - sugar.

Lead singer, songwriter, and chief bare-it-all NEWD, Paul Meagher has an unflagging zeal for constructing tunes that remind him of his heroes, but this isn't a form of hero worship, but hero-escape instead and it's great. He takes the towering troubles that are thrown his way by a society hell-bent - hell being the operative word - on reducing people to rubble, and turns it into power pop - power to the people pop. Don't dress it up, go NEWD in lockdown.

- Austin Collings (writer, Renegade: The lives & Tales of Mark E Smith,The Myth Of Brilliant Summers, The Guardian, The Times, The Believer, The Quietus)
