abc & me
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008
ABC are back with the album “Traffic.” A package filled with layered strings and their trademark rich arrangements. This is an album that sounds like it cost money to make. A lot. It feels like glass-walled studios overlooking bays in the Cap or the Cape were used, as though the team retired to glittering shimmering dancefloors in exclusive Ibiza clubs post recording, as though, in fact, nothing has changed.
Oh yes, ABC are back; they sound like they’ve never been away; and, once more, that puts them so far ahead of the herd that only their dust can be seen.
