foxglove hunt: stop heartbeat

the foxglove hung is a side project of ronnie martin, of joy electric, and rob withem, of fine china. they have worked together before, ronnie was the producer of fine china's first disc. as a fan of joy electric i knew i had to get it just to hear what other things ronnie has been up to. the album is really good, it has a 70's syth vibe to it, which i really enjoy. some of the strongest songs on the album are 'the life highrise', and 'that's getting personal'. as always, the melodies and hooks are strong, and the beats are thumping (quite a change from the usual joy electric fare). on some of the best songs there is a full rich sound that ties it together and gives it its unique personality. a very good album, i hope these guys work together again soon!
