LOCAL CD REVIEW: Captain Polaroid - Other Short Stories and Better Works of Fiction

Available from http://www.myspace.com/captainpolaroid £7.

This is the Birmingham based Captain’s second album, on label 'Filthy Little Angels.' He has blended a magical formula of lyrics to spark discussion, fragile yet earnest and demanding vocals and fuzzy guitar melodies to sway your head to. The result is a thought-provoking lo-fi gem crammed full of playful poppy tunes.
Personal highlights include ‘Wintertime Ending,’ direct from the school of Conor Oberst, graduating with honours and ‘Better Works of Fiction’, tongue-in-cheek blasphemy filtering through to offer a more light-hearted edge to the underlying religious subject matter. Further investigation thoroughly recommended.
