Sullivan, James
Light Years
Based in London, James Sullivan is best known as the frontman of power pop trio More Kicks, as well as member if the multi-country pop group Suspect Parts (which also features members of Clorox Girls, The Briefs and The Shocks). Light Years is his first solo album, recorded in his home studio during one of Londons various Covid-lockdowns. The album became a brilliant whistlestop tour of blitzed-out fuzz, paranoid drum machine twitches, stadium-sized reflections and lo-fi 60s pop nuggets, bringing to mind Paul Westerberg, Guided By Voices, and even some Velvet Underground in the opening track and lead single Lea Bridge.
