The Pop Corporation

Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc.

If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault next to the likes of Weyes Blood (different musically, but both share a Satin Jacket quality, so they’d make a great musical couple), or maybe Drugdealer (who Rault has apparently toured with as a session guy), but comparisons are lazy aren’t they? Necessary though, as we try and convince other people to give things a whirl where they might be initially reluctant.

All that’s left to do is click play on the YouTube video and then, obviously, go buy his latest LP which is really, really, truly wonderful. Sunshine pop, bittersweet melodies, good guitar solos, skewed takes and… enough already! Gwan git!
