Details:
Blue Flux''s latest album ''The Agenda'' hits the racks at last, to set new standards for the band''s expressive songwriting skills and dedicated musicianship. And to prove once more that nothing quite sounds like Blue Flux.
Following the album''s foot-stomping opener ''Tomorrow''s Too Late'', the bitter-sweet guitarbasher ''Rockdad'' cuts to the chase – here the relentless culture cloning visited upon once-smug parents by their retro-minded offspring. In its wake, seemingly innocuous little twangers like ''Hidebound'', ''Jessica''s Dream'' and ''Sandwich on Putney Bridge'' soon blossom into class A string-stranglers with a sting in the tail. Coming up for air, and it''s down to the timely and cage-rattling title track – light and shade in a bottle. Rising from the deep, the hauntingly atmospheric ''Skinchange'' and ''Click Here'' waft forth, ray-like, before a bubble-soft ride back to the surface astride the life-affirming ''Vanilla Days''.
Musically ''The Agenda'' shows clear, well-polished links to recent Blue Flux antecedents. Sparkling guitar riffs, atmospheric synth lines and the odd chugging groove all help to expertly propel each song to its destiny. The level of lyrical intensity however belies evolutionary principles. It''s the album''s brand-new booster rocket that clearly sets it apart from the Flux pack to date.
Though certainly in touch with current musical trends, Blue Flux still fiercely adhere to their self-birthed genre of one. Enquiring lyrics and guitar-driven bliss are nothing new in themselves, yet when snugly packaged and defiantly delivered by a band with their eyes on the road rather than the charts it becomes clear that this Agenda at least will not invite too many apologies.
Band history
Now into their second decade of musicianship, Blue Flux have long since found a home in the Progressive and Acoustic Rock genre. The band''s own independent record label and a longstanding web presence have become the main conduit for their output. Hence ''The Agenda'' will retail in CD format via CD Baby and Blue Flux Direct, and as individual or album downloads from all reputable online music retailers.
Previous releases also available through these channels include the classic "The Beach" (1999), the passionate guitar-only album Sugarbeat (2002) and the triumphant 2004 masterpiece "Just Dreams".
Various critics have loosely compared the Blue Flux sound to the likes of Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Radiohead and Porcupine Tree, whilst invariably stressing the band''s uniqueness. With a polite and appreciative nod at the above icons, Blue Flux continue to put their very own stamp on each and every song.
