Anomie & Bonhomie, Scritti Politti

'ANOMIE' MINE Gartside and co. return after a lengthy absence

Music Review

Anomie&Bonhomie (2012)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Scritti Politti

It's been 10 years since these Brit popsters' last album, so expectations are high for Anomie & Bonhomie. The bad news is that guest rappers like Mos Def stick out awkwardly in SP's low-key universe. The good news is that main man Green Gartside hasn't lost his magic touch for hooks and subtle blue-eyed soul. Gartside may party like it's 1989, but his new songs sound ageless. B+
