The feeling that you will probably be left to after hearing the first album of The Feeling is a joy.
For Twelve Stops and Home certainly quarters of the devices on several occasions, there is plenty of pop gems contained in most listeners to leave a smile.
The group is composed of Dan Gillespie Sells (vocals and guitar), Richard Jones (bass), Kevin Jordan (guitar), Ciaran Jeremiah (keyboards) and Paul Stewart (drums), five guys from Sussex and London who share a love for Without frills handsets, the hook-filled, giant pop-chorused.
They have already scored two hit singles with massive Sewn, a mid-tempo ballad that continues to sound fresh, and Fill My Little World, a hook gloriously loaded a record romp sun radiates positivity.
But many of the album's attractiveness lies in its ability to juggle slow, piano, bursting with reflections on life and love with more optimistic than most celebrations dizzy feelings.
Therefore, a large number of inland wear their mid 70 inspirations proudly, flitting casually of the likes of Lennon and McCartney to the Queen and Steely Dan via Godley and Creme, The Carpenters and The Beach Boys.
The album starts supremely optimistic mode with the beam of energy that is I Want You Now, which contains the vocal melodies ripped right out of the Beach Boys' lyric and a lot of soft-power-rock hooks. It is almost impossible not to be carried away by his infectious energy.
There is the popular sentiment in shimmering Never Be Lonely, a wonderfully scripted ode to love on people in love "getting everything wrong" - think Supertramp Dreamer, only marginally better.
Fill My Little World follows along to make an informed welcome before Kettle It slows things completely, dropping some killer piano strings and low that eventually beat key is giving way to an epic chorus on comfort family.
Indeed, it is safe to say that the music of The Feeling succeeds in paying tribute to simple things, things everyday that we often take for granted. It shines a little light that continues to strengthen the hardest of the album.
Other highlights include the breezy Anyone is built around several hooks and another sun superb chorus, and the large stage poll Love It When You Call, which really does wallow in the mid-70's, soft rock territory.
Given the current retro revival happening in the music - it's taking in both the 70 years and 80 years - it is refreshing to find a group capable of blending nostalgia for something that is just as fresh and exciting.
The Feeling's Twelve Stops And Home contains a dynamism that is hard not to get caught up in. This is a very encouraging beginning.
