Cannons – Sweeter

I absolutely rinsed Cannons’ 2022 album Fever Dream. It wasn’t the best album of the year by any means, but it was far and away my favourite, and already, less than a year later, evokes feelings of deep nostalgia, which is pretty impressive given that my life is essentially exactly the same now as it was 12 months ago. Anyway, their new album Heartbeat Highway has a lot to live up to, and on the first couple of listens Sweeter – a perfect, yearning, synthpop melter – has emerged as the clear stand-out.

Cannons – Loving You

Cannons defined the summer of 2022 for me, when barely a day went past without me listening to at least part of Fever Dream, thanks in large part to it being one of the few albums my kids were happy to listen to in the car in its entirety. So with the sun starting to remind us of its existence, here’s a shimmery new Cannons single for me to relentlessly overplay. Hazy dayz.

Cannons – Come Alive

I played this to my daughter at the weekend, fully expecting us to bond over its easily accessible hooks and soft-focus melodies and after a couple of minutes she looked at me and said “This is ok, but let’s listen to something else”. What a dick! It’s much better than ok. But then maybe I’ve been sucked in by the Carpenters-evoking cover art and the fact that it was really warm and sunny when I first listened to it. Anyway, you can judge for yourself. Turns out 6 year-olds really have no taste at all.
