I wish I could buy every album I wish I could buy. Then again I don’t.
This record is a mystery to me in many ways and I came to it only because Boomkat picked it as their Album of the Year. Which makes sense seeing as Dancin’ In The Streets was released on Boomkat’s own Modern Love label—why release music you don’t love?
From the Boomkat Product Review:
‘Dancin’ in the Streets’ is another knotty Northern masterwork from the enigmatic Tom Boogizm, a double album of gauzy outsider bloooz adorned with eccentric asides, personal revelations and fuzzed recollections, connecting dots between Movietone, Prince, The Durutti Column, Dean Blunt, Time is Away.
Boogizm bloooz. Nice. I’m a fan broken songs, songs that seem to struggle with being (a song) like those from Dean Blunt and Joanne Robertson and Dancin’ In The Streets is filled with some soulful shards indeed that I needed to own, needed to own, on vinyl.
