UNBELIEVABLY good album. Cannot even get my head round how good it is.

Alas Morley has always had that tendency and it's got a lot worse :-(

I do love its Scottishness (English lead notwithstanding!), and I get that it feels different. It's always such a personal thing about the suspension of disbelief, isn't it? I did want to love it, it's just not got its hooks into me. But am v glad it exists, if you know what I mean.

Personally, I'm....struggling a little. I just don't believe any of them are real cops and it makes it feel a bit arch and telly. It is very watchable though and you're right that it feels tonally different, but I thought it'd be on a Slow Horses level, so maybe my expectations were too high!

Right? The biggest song in the world last year was Kendrick having a bitch about Drake. The double standards are off the scale!

Exactly that. So grim.

(FYI the album is nuanced, complex and beautiful, but even if it wasn’t, he can fuck right off for all eternity. You don’t get to tell Little Simz to simmer down, prick)

I LOVE Out of Time, really underrated. I think I've always struggled with AFTP because I was such a fan before that album and it felt a bit desperate to please a wider fanbase (and it certainly worked!).

Hi Gemma, I know it sounds grim, but a bit of context:

Never good to see a regional indie fold, but I think people are getting hung on the name & the history - Red as it was hasn't really existed for years since the key core creative team left (my wife was one of them!). Nicola S is still going strong with Quay Street: it's just a different name now.

It was Red in name only after Nicola S and the core creative team left: Quay Street is essentially the new Red. So not that surprising really, they haven't made anything that wasn't a leftover of Shindler's tenure.

Totally. Fowles and Milan Kundera were my lodestars as a teenager. I daren't read either again, I'd rather just remember how much they meant to me at the time!
