John Lawler of the Fratellis' released his side project Codeine Velvet Club's debut album this week.

When I heard that Jon Lawler was looking to work on a so 1960's Broadway show. Now, don't be put off... read a little more!

Codeine Velvet club's first offering to the masses is most certainly one of beauty! I have listened to it over and over again and I must admit.... I'm impressed. Don't worry, I'm not going to give you all that spiel about Lawler's grizzly growling and Hickeys alluringly soft tones!

It is a far cry from the loud and excited Chelsea Dagger that causes Sunday Football Fans to bound around my local like coiled springs each week, though it does have its "up-tempo" moments which can be likened better to the swinging sixties with Hickey as the Cilla Black of 2009.

It is a mature and debonair sound with Lawler and Hickey creating a suave and soulful girl-boy duet, seldom seen in today's music world. For me, this is a beautifully written and performed album and I urge you to remove your fingers from the Christmas chocolates long enough to purchase this album and give it a listen! For those of you that can't............That's what downloads are for!

SHARE IT!
