Album Review: Pulp Music by Neurotic Fiction (2018) (Specialist Subject Records)


It is the law of the veritable 'sod' that the very moment a 'best of 2018 so far' article is posted, Murphy will exercise his considerable muscle and ensure that another obvious contender is posted soon after...Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Neurotic Fiction's debut album, one so fine it completely exposes janglepophub continued sufferance of premature unhatched chicken counting.


Although the album consists of two primary musical groupings, it certainly does not reduce the all-consuming complexities of the overall aesthetic. The initial conglomerate of tracks, led by the brilliance of lead single Collateral, Mediator, Meaning of Lyf and stand out Bell Curve, juxtaposes the current Brooklyn ramshackle jangle-pop of bands such as Olden Yolk and Holy Tunics, to the propulsion of a C86 style  Shop Assistants or The Groove Farm.
