Review: Michael Head's latest album, Loophole, is a poignant and introspective journey through six decades of life, love, and loss, masterfully captured in twelve evocative tracks. Backed by his loyal ensemble, The Red Elastic Band, Head weaves a tapestry of memories and emotions, inviting listeners to reminisce alongside him. The album's lead single, 'Shirl's Ghost,' sets the tone with its enchanting Spanish horns, a signature element of Head's musical style. As the opening track, it immediately draws listeners into Head's world, where flickering scenes from his life unfold with vivid clarity. 'Toxteth Ghost Story,' another standout track, showcases Head's storytelling strength as he delves into the haunting echoes of his past. Throughout the album, Head's lyrics are imbued with nostalgia and reflection, painting a rich portrait of his experiences and influences. Produced by Bill Ryder-Jones, co-founder of The Coral, Loophole boasts a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. The Red Elastic Band's instrumentation is lush and dynamic, providing the perfect backdrop for Head's emotive vocals. As Head prepares to release his 11th studio album, it's clear that his creative fire burns brighter than ever. With Loophole, he proves once again why he's regarded as one of the greatest living songwriters, captivating listeners with his timeless melodies and heartfelt storytelling.

Review: Michael Head is a veteran treasure of Liverpool's music scene with a background in bands like Shack, The Dance Party and The Pale Fountains, and for the past five years he's been indulging his immaculate songwriting with The Red Elastic Band. There's always a confessional lilt to Head's lyricism, and it comes through even clearer on Loophole as he enters an especially reflective mode ahead of the release of his autobiography. With many a story to tell, set to stirring and sentimental songs to carry with you through life, this is one of Liverpool's finest doing what he does best.
