Album Review: SPOD - Taste The Sadness

StarStarStarStar

Irony and humour aplenty

More Spod Spod Profile

The inner westeros’ genius anti-hero’s newie is the super comedown album from the highs of his debut, Taste The Radness, released a decade before and can be summed up by the track, Hell No, with the introspective lyrics, “Dick is covered in mould /And beer bloats my soul.

Irony and humour aplenty, it’s SeaChange but with ‘80s nods and a severely limited budget. While the Moog and one-man ballads will fly over the heads of many, Taste The Sadness’ appeal lies in its creator’s unrelenting determination to make music no matter what.
