The New Pop Dialogue

Pijo what an unexpected thrill to stumble across this thick slice of my youth while deep browsing on Bandcamp. Heavily tinged with personal nostalgia but regardless this is a spectacular, exciting, snarling pop masterpiece. If the Beatles had first emerged in the wonderful 90s Aussie alternative scene this might be how they'd sound. Thank you for reissuing this - I haven't listened in at least 10 years (I had searched on Spotify but they weren't on there at the time) but found myself singing along

Keef Kase Eagerly awaiting ‘what’s that sound?’

about

Cheersquad Records & Tapes are delighted to bring you The New Pop Dialogue by Melbourne 3 piece Snout in all her glory on 12" vinyl for the very first time. A limited run of clear vinyl copies is available on pre-order now, with the album also being released on classic black vinyl, as well as digitally. The reissue of this ripper AuGoGo release from 1996 is coming out on September 4th 2020.

Ross McLennan, Ewan McCartney and Greg Ng, collectively known as Snout, followed up their debut album, 1994's 'What’s That Sound?' in resounding fashion with their 1996 release The New Pop Dialogue. Every track delivers killer blows of prime pop with abandon. This is an album Snout fans will devour greedily and one sure to grab the attention of those bereft souls still unaware of the pop genius of McLennan's songs.

Melodically and sonically, Ross is a Renaissance man of Brian Wilson proportions. He also writes great words. They have a free-flowing musical lyricism of their own. They can make you laugh out loud one minute and tug gently at the heartstrings the next, the album is a veritable white knuckle rollercoaster ride of fun.

The New Pop Dialogue is a supremely accessible album - pop hooks abound taking root very quickly, no compost required. It is an embarrassment of riches that in lesser hands could have been just an embarrassment. In Snout's hands it becomes a very appealing triumph of pop music.
