    Pre-order Flux bundles HERE

    I'm really surprised how quickly a new album has been released since her previous album. She's working hard!

    Also, Happy Birthday to Alison, who in her own words turns 250 years old today (that's 250 in pop years)

    Also, to note that Find Xanadu is now out.

    Loving the new stuff from Flux thus far, it’s such a great sound.  Very in keeping with what the likes of Kylie & Charlie XCX is doing I must admit, but Alison’s vocals are just miles better :) 
    Soon be nothing of this world.

    I love AG but with the exception of Reverberotic, these new tracks are doing nothing for me.  :( I took a look at the thread over at the popjustice forums (where all the activity seems to be these days) and I'm a bit surprised at how many people agree that these are somehow stronger than the tracks on The Love Invention? 

    Perhaps the genre is not for me...

    I thought Reverberotic would be the one for me. No other song would top it. But i've actually found myself listening to Hey Hi Hello on repeat for days now. 
    It's not the most groundbreaking of songs, but as someone who listens to stuff on a primal level (I'm terrible with singing/lyrics) it seems to hit my sweet spot. It reminds me a little bit of an uptempo Yellow Halo. 

    Not all songs have been released though, so maybe there's some on there that you'll warm to :)

    I am happy to confirm that a lot of it has grown on me (thankfully).

    There is also an acoustic version of 'Ultrasky' on the digital deluxe version that sounds very much like a 'Goldfrapp' track - very Seventh Tree and ToU. 

    If I'm not mistaken it's the first time there's been a track that's paired acoustic guitar with Alison's voice since... 2013?! We've been starved.

    I've had the album on repeat for several days now while I work, and I've not skipped a single song. 

    I have to say, considering this is Alison's first release on her own label, I have a feeling she wanted to go with something more mainstream sounding and more popular with fans and especially non/new-fans. It's a wise thing to make profit and then hopefully become more open to future releases being a little different and more against the grain. 

    Love Mat's work on the album artwork. The "FLUX" typography I'm not super keen on. But whatever, the rest of the artwork really works. I do think the two albums have a very similar look and feel, so I'm hoping a future release will be very different to these two releases.
