SEMION Help Me I Work In An Office (Self-released)
This UK quartet’s first full-length album comes on the heels of the excellent EP – Get A Grip – wherein the band showcased an affinity for the likes of Teenage Fanclub. Whilst the Rickenbacker jangle is still very much in evidence, Semion has widened its palate somewhat with a heavier agenda (embracing influences like the Buzzcocks, the Kinks & Neil Young) with songs like Transmission, Liverpool Sunset, Never Changes, Black Cloud – it’s all sublime powerpop.
