The second wave of '90s Britpop starts here, typified by Mansun's thematic grandeur and glam-sized orchestral maneuvers that first-wavers like Blur and Oasis intentionally left behind. Only the melodies remain grounded in the familiar UK rock tradition. Led by singer/songwriter Paul Draper, Mansun, while grounded in the good old guitar-bass-drums aesthetic, is all about sonic excess--imagine Queen with a punky attitude. Guitars come in every imaginable form and texture, strings swirl all over, drum-machines echo live beats, synths blip with New Wave bravado, organs underpin nearly every melody. Hippo noises and church bells are simply the cherries on a multi-track production sundae that is intensely calorie-heavy. Draper, meanwhile, struts around coolly cooing lyrics about an odd assortment of characters that belong in perverse short stories.
