 Max Sedgley's career to date has been a tale of unabashed talent, irregular bouts of what Hollywood folk like to call serendipity and bloody hard work. The man behind 'Happy', one of this century's most enduring clarion calls, is back with his debut album.
‘From The Roots To The Shoots’ represents Sedgley’s old school influences in the roots and then the shoots constitutes modern contemporary influences. It's a joyous listen; an album enthralled by the possibilities of sound. From the unpretentious and updated synth-pop of ‘I've Been Waiting’, to the fractured funk and broken electro of 'Déjà Vu', it really is a journey of uninhibited music. It’s hard to pick a favourite here, although stand out tracks are in abundance. 'Ego Spiritual' and ‘Celebrity’ give this album quirk and diversity where as 'Slowly', with it's mood enhancing orchestral strings, makes the prospect of a trip hop revival not such a hideous vision. No track disappoints, thoroughly enjoyable.
