Merchandise - “Listen Up!” 7″  (Cityscape)
This single is packaged in a very similar style to last year’s “Sometimes” 7″ - in fact, with its brown sleeve with cartoon drawing and white vinyl, I had to double check that I didn’t have this record already! And like the previous single, the A-side is a surefire winner, that feels full of life and relaxed all at the same time with a bouncy piano-led melody. On the flip is the bossa-infused “Lonesome Beauty”, which is also lively, though it does seem to go on at least a minute too long. With a pair of fine singles, I look forward to hearing the band’s new album!  MTQ=2/2

Last but not least is Cityscape’s Merchandise with the summery pop gem Listen Up! It’s ‘Girl From Mars’ era Ash but more laidback and subtly sophisticated. Melodically simple and nicely structured, this sticks in the brain longer than you really want it to, which is annoying, but again, a sign of quality songwriting.
