For real, put some Japanese text on the cover art and You Can't Hide Your Love Forever could potentially pass as a vaporwave release; you know, way before that subgenre was actually a thing. Anyway, Scottish post-punk outfit Orange Juice's debut album is a bright and simultaneously odd specimen that's bound to put off as many people as it would entertain them. Admittedly Edwyn Collins' vocals take time to grow on the consumer, though they're not atrocious by any means, and compliment what the instrumentalists are utilizing here well enough. It's a nice listen in general and - holy shit - "Satellite City" is pure bliss.
