'Nowhere'

davehairy Oddly, there’s a lovely eerie feel that comes from the combination of clean crisp drums/percussion and keys that sound like they’ve been stolen from your dreams! Add to that the odd guitar lick and some spoken word from the fabulous Pablo Raybould, and some sensuous stunning vocals closing the album, and you have an album just as special as it’s predecessor (which is a tough task, as it was in my top albums of that year!)
They’ve taken me Around, they’ve taken me Nowhere… where next? Favorite track: Control Your Own Story.

egg-magoo A new outing from the Bubble boys and it's a belter. Once again mixing the organic with the electronic in a pleasing mind mash of melodies, pulses, burbles and swoops underpinned by an organic, percussive attack from dance and tribal beats to Kraut grooves and more.. This album is tine well spent giving your brain a fondle.

    "...something new and unique with it. By playing with tempo and textures they bring us into their world and excite us with each new experience created. This was a very rewarding listen and one I will continue to enjoy."

Well you're superficial Malignant yet benign. Vacant and devoid, you're just a waste of time. You're not tagged in photos Never sparked a great debate, when the party's jumping You always turn up late. The epicentre of nowhere Your name's not on the door In the thick of all the action You're a space upon the floor. There's a gap in everyone's diary Your name's on the tip of my tongue A pause as i try to recall But probably remembered you wrong. Less personal depth Than a jellyfish x-ray I dodged you in the street You'd only've ruin my day. As essentially valued As a wasp in a shoe That jarring, grating noise Usually comes from you. Don’t come in Don’t come out Don’t join us at the bar We’re not gonna be in there So don’t get out your car You’re the anchor That keeps me afloat And you’re the dark, dark waves That rock my fuckin’ boat.

"These two know how to play to each other’s strengths, that’s obvious, but here they take that up a level. Musical magic."
Static Sounds Club

"...It is electronic music for people who do not like electronic music. And some very good music at that."
Weirdo Shrine

"...a journey that’ll become the trip of a lifetime."
Echoes & Dust



"When you’re in the middle of a cold, wintery day, you know that you have to bundle up and prepare to go for that long and winding road with a huge amount of exercises that’ll get you up and atom. For Thought Bubble, they’ve taken their next advantage on the 2021 follow-up Around, and walk into the middle of their latest release, Nowhere.

Keyboardist Chris Cordwell and percussionist Nick Raybould have kept the bubble train floating, higher than ever. I wouldn’t consider their music prog-rock, but staying true to their own identity by taking listeners on a journey that’ll become the trip of a lifetime. And to be allowed to have two guitarists (One from Babal, and the other from MonkeyTrial), followed by TV actor Pablo Raybould (The Snarling, Me Before You), and singer Laura Pickering, this album will get a lot of ideas on where you want to take your spiritual journey next. Listening to the Nowhere album, it becomes an inner psychic experience filled with hallucinogenic nightmares coming to life.

It becomes a big reality check at its viewing glimpse. You can hear aspects of Suzanne Ciani, the library of De Wolfe Music, and the collaboration between Wade McNeil and Andrew Gordon Macpherson’s score to the acclaimed docuseries on VICE, Dark Side of the Ring. They really get down to business to create some of the eviscerating heat as the fire become increasingly hot, knowing that danger lurks around the corner.

Not only there’s Atari, Canterbury’s own Supersister, and the Joy Division route, but elements to post-punk duo Suicide, CAN, NEU, and the French duo Air that comes into the picture. They have done their homework by creating this fast-paced environment to envision what William Friedkin had done to his unsung 1977 masterpiece, Sorcerer.

But you gotta love those routes to the territories of Silver Apples, Thought Bubble would process into baking some delicious homemade lemon pies and lime tarts, inspired by the late, great Klaus Nomi. It brings that sweet aroma to life and keeping those customers satisfied.

The appearance of spoken dialog comes together by bringing an upgraded version of the Ludovico treatment of being brainwashed from all of the crazy shit you would see on your flat-screen 4k TV. There’s a lot of activity going on, but with Thought Bubble’s release of Nowhere, it has those unexpected twists and turns. And the big question is where will the listeners go into next? And what happens in the cliffhanging chapter that’ll leave us with a huge amount of clues that the duo have unfolded?"
