I discovered Bent early last year, thought I had found something new, soon realised I had been pretty slow. That aside the first album was a joy. In a pretty mixed up world it is refreshing to hear a pair of artists making soothing, stirring and downright enjoyable soundscapes.
This second outing offers more of the same with some fantastic use of old artists on 'guest' sampled vocals. Nana Mouskouri makes a welcome return, joined by Billie Jo Spears, Captain and Tennille and even David Essex! Inspired.
The leaning towards country music is done is such a way as to leave you wanting to open up to a long neglected genre. BJ Cole's pedal Steel playing is wonderful. Whereas Goldfrapp use a Theremin to inject a haunting side to their ballads, Bent have found just the musician to polish their sound.
Bent's new album is a must. If you like Lemon Jelly you'll love this.

Cheesy and cheap are words often bandied about in reviews of Bent records, but that's a little harsh when it comes to this album. While their choice of vocal contributions (Billie Jo Spears, David Essex) is certainly offbeat the result is the sort of polished pop associated with the LP's producer Stephen Hague (Pet Shop Boys, New Order). Hague's influence is particularly strong on the David Essex 'collaboration' which kicks off sounding like Chris Lowe covering New Order's Thieves Like Us.
Overall though, Everlasting Blink has a sound which can perhaps best be desribed as Orbital jamming with Lemon Jelly while the KLF man the sampler. Highlights for me are the hazy infectious disco of Magic Love, the catchy electro pop of Ordinary Day and the Jon Marsh-vocalled Beautiful Otherness which brings back fond memories of early Nineties raving.
As so often happens with music of this type, tunes from The Everlasting Blink are already finding their way into advertising (such the recent ad for tax credits).
Fans of Lemon Jelly, Royksopp et al are well advised to snap this album up fast before its poppy beauty is tarnished
by too much televised repetition.

Amazon had been recommending this album for me for weeks, but as Im a bit wary of groups I havent heard of, I ignored their pleas, and it was only when I saw it on-sale elsewhere that I bought it.
WHAT WAS I THINKING! I was kicking myself for days, that I ignored the amazon tribe, cos this CD is GGrrrreat.

It starts with a sample from Tomita and I thought for a moment that they had put the wrong CD in the case, but it just got better.
The tunes are dancy, but not in a Cream/Fabric vein. It reminded me of Royskopp, and Banco De Gaia, but a bit more mainstream. Possibly closer to I Monster, or Mint Royale.
The best track has to be Ordinary Day, Im not sure of the sample, but I have been singing it to myself all morning.
