David Bridie - Succumb

2009 release, the third solo album from the leader of Not Drowning, Waving and My Friend the Chocolate Cake. Five years in the making, Bridie offers up Succumb with a strident new (rocking) five piece band to deliver it. This is Bridie with a big sound of edgy guitar, whirling analogue keyboards, anthemic vocals and layers of drums and Pacific percussion beats, alongside his trademark textures and lyrics of wry social and landscape observation. 11 tracks.
