The Morning Star Gives Four Stars To David Newton And Thee Mighty Angels

The Morning Star set the stage for a recent review of A Gateway To A Lifetime Of Disappointment, the new album from David Newton & Thee Mighty Angels, by telling a bit of Newton’s history. “The Mighty Lemon Drops were a central part of the 1980s C86 scene that saw a simple cassette tape compiled by the NME define a whole music genre… Some 35 years on, their guitarist and chief songwriter David Newton has released his latest album and it’s very much in the tradition of jangly, guitar-driven pop with a slight psychedelic edge.” The site recommends the record “for fans of The Wedding Present, The Soup Dragons and the like,” calling it “not-so-shambling indie that has matured and improved with age.” Read the review here.
