Album Review: Thumpers - Galore

It’s not always easy (Sound Of Screams for instance), but Galore is a very worthwhile listen and hopefully a sign of things to come.

The fact that they're only two people doesn't stop Thumpers, aka. Marcus Pepperell and John Hamson Jr, from layering up their sound like it ain't no thing. Galore is full of full, lush pop tunes that'll have your girl/boyfriend swooning and you lying back sipping on a mojito feeling like a boss. Lifelong friends, their music is comfortable without ever seeming complacent, and their arrangements – while diverse – are never overcrowded or weak. It's not always easy (Sound Of Screams for instance), but Galore is a very worthwhile listen and hopefully a sign of things to come.
