Description
Still Corners 2010 debut was Creatures Of An Hour, described as indulgently seductive NME, and an astounding debut Drowned in Sound.
Over the last two years Greg Hughes, along with singing accomplice Tessa Murray, recorded Strange Pleasures, a devastating sophomore album thats destined to usher Still Corners to a deserved place at dream-pops high table.
The album was captured in Hughes Greenwich studio, with the protean multitasker handling all the instruments and penning most of the lyrics.
A leaner, more acute extrapolation of 80s suffused song and studio craft, navigating between Angelo Badalamenti noir-pop torch song sophistication, ethereal Cocteau Twins beauty and the glacial, mellifluous territory mapped by the likes of Modern English, The Cure and The Passions.
As Greg himself says, Creatures Of An Hour was soft and relaxing but it was a massively cathartic record for me. I was destroyed after being in a relationship; its all in there, suicide all that stuff. Strange Pleasures is more of an adventure out toward the open seas. Its an exploring type of record: strange new lands, strange new love
