Album Review: Principal - Go To The Principal

StarStarStarHalf Star

"... Full of electronic beats, dazing vocals, and undertones reminiscent of the 'Doctor Who' theme song."

Upbeat, catchy and full of personality, Principal have put together an album that can only be described as futuristic with a nod to the '70s.

Go To The Principal is full of electronic beats, dazing vocals, and undertones reminiscent of the Doctor Who theme song, particularly on Imogen. While this album makes you want to get up and dance, it also makes you want to curl up in bed and relax.

Ocular Moon begins the album with almost robotic and hypnotic vocals that set up the album beautifully. Crime Don't Pay and Heroic Dose are definitely ones to come back to, a perfect combination of all the unique sounds within the album.
