Listen Up! No. 56: Edwyn Collins - Losing Sleep

Tweet

Whilst many will never have heard of largely forgotten Scotch post-punks Orange Juice (who Collins fronted), most will recognise his distinctive vibrato from this 90s pop gem. Seasoned fans will be cheered that this track (taken from his new record of the same name) treads a more nostalgic path, mixing jauntified new-wave akin to Julian Cope's early solo work with plenty of spluttering guitar noise. Meanwhile, casual fans should stick around for an attention to hooks which remains undiminished.
