UNICORN

Product Information

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. We carry a broad range of CDs and vinyl (7”/12” singles and LPs) and specialise in indie, alternative, rock, punk, metal plus a few other genres. And thus, it’s telling how much backup on Unicorn comes from those established names in ‘80s—or ‘80s-replicating—synthwave work. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Another five years have passed and Unicorn is upon us and it is loaded to the proverbial gills with both songs and guest artists.

Rather than look over a barren wasteland of the future this is an anthem of survival and perseverance that is impossible not to sing along with. Named after the international icon of fantasy and imagination, UNICORN is emblazoned with the tagline "Imagination Is A Weapon". While critical reviews are a common part of music journalism, a more balanced and objective approach would provide a fairer assessment for readers. You’d think they’d be more memorable overall, given how ready their fanbase was to pounce on any assertions that Dark All Day wasn’t a good album (which it wasn’t), but maybe that’s just how it goes when there’s so little musical nutrition to go on.

British masters of futuristic dark retrowave/synthrock with the next mighty release, driving, nuanced and catchy as it should be.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. One of the potential downfalls of this genre is how it is often a rose-colored look at the past by nearly constantly invoking nostalgia.It’d likely be more preferable than Alex Westaway, though he’s barely a presence here in his own right. And while that’s more on those loud, isolated voices who’ll spend their time screaming at the defence of an act they have no more personal stake in than said act themselves, you have to believe that Gunship are aware of that.
