Happy April Fools Day! Power Popaholic has got disco fever today! No really, this band has slick horns, piano and a disco beat that can’t be beat! Referred by their previous EP as The Last Disco Band in America it will get you on the dance floor. The best track here is the opener “Above The Rim” with all the musical flourish and compelling melody, very much like Roger Manning Jr. (Jellyfish) or Bleu when they get into disco mode. If you also liked The Xanadu soundtrack, then “Fire Escape” will be another favorite tune with strings, piano and sparkling vocals. Much of the LP is pleasantly low key, like “Infusion” or wedding band themed “It’s Your Night.” The ballad “Moving Day” is sung with earnest and heartbreak making it another standout. Fans of early 80’s period melodic disco will enjoy dancing to this one. At least you can groove along with Jay and Silent Bob…
