Summer Breezes, Slow Dances & That Soft Disco Sound

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.”

Just waiting for the summer breezes to arrive, like William Shakespeare did many years ago. Enjoy!

The sister duo of Aly & AJ made a string of excellent electro pop singles and EPs the last decade, but on their new album they have “switched gears and adopted a sound that owed far more to the laid back '70s sound of California than the icy textures of London circa 1985.” (Allmusic)

Next up is an eighties show on Mellow Mellow FM!
