One of the first great albums of the year is Information, the debut full-length album as a solo artist by ex-I Blame Coco's frontwoman/songwriter Eliot Sumner, a record I was eagerly anticipating.

As previously reported, Information was released on January 22 on Island Records and is a gem for lovers of music that combines mature, deep pop-rock with a modern synth wave sound.

Eliot presented the album with this words: "I started writing songs again in 2010 in search of creating music that I wanted to listen to. When I met Duncan Mills who produced the album we bonded over our love for the Krautrock movement and agreed to take this approach to making a record. Motoric rhythms and "wall of sound" was our mission statement. Along with "you are a robot, you have no feeling", "Jazz be gone", these became matras in the studio, leaving all the feeling and human element to the vocals. My favourite track on the album is Dead Arms and Dead Legs. It's lyrically my favourite and the outro still gets me. I really love this album and thats enough for me."

I already featured the various singles (and videos) included in the album, so now it's time to stream the whole affair on Spotify. Enjoy!
