Fantasy Black Channel is the most thrilling British debut of the year for its spirit of invention, its surfeit of ideas and its capitulum for a good tune. The Castle Donington four-piece may be young pups but they reference prog, heavy metal, Roxy Music, Blur, Aphex Twin and Gary Numan - oftentimes all in the same song. Bathroom Gurgle begins as synth-pop, but afterward two transactions it abruptly bursts into falsetto spandex rock. Then it shifts genre and tempo once more, as versatile singer Samuel Dust yelps: "Put your hands on your waist and shift your body to the bassline." Every time you play this album, you'll find a new deary song, riffian or contrary moment.
