-
On
their
second
album,
Swansea
Sound
present
a
set
of
songs
as
infectious
as
anything
from
their
previous
incarnations.
The
raw
energy
of
Hue’s
old
band
The
Pooh
Sticks
is
still
there;
the
indiepop
sugar
rush
of
Amelia’s
Heavenly
is
still
as
sweet
as
ever.
But
these
songs
are
laced
with
venom
and
sardonic
wit.
Swansea
Sound
have
visited
this
terrain
before:
their
catchy
debut
single
‘Corporate
Indie
Band’
was
a
sly
tribute
to
a
music
scene
that
had
lost
all
its
authenticity,
with
its
bands
in
hock
to
social
media
managers:
corporate
puppets
play-acting
at
independence.
In
‘Twentieth
Century’,
Swansea
Sound
take
it
a
lot
further,
having
a
good
look
at
the
heroes
of
their
youth
–
the
fabled
eras
of
rock,
punk,
post-punk,
electro
futurism
–
and
considering
whether
the
prophets
that
emerged
from
those
scenes
were
of
any
use
whatsoever.
