Penny Arcade — Backwater Collage (Tapete)
Since the abrupt and somewhat mysterious end of Ultimate Painting in 2018, James Hoare has been recording sporadically as Proper Ornaments (with Max Oscarnold) but this is his first solo album under the name Penny Arcade. Fans of any of Hoare’s projects, from Veronica Falls on down, will find much that is familiar in this softly psychedelic set of songs, which engage gently but leave an indelible mark.
One can infer considerable tension for Hoare over the last several years, from the break-up so bitter that the last Ultimate Painting album was withdrawn after recording, mixing and sending out to likely reviewers. (I have a copy somewhere. It was good.) He left London for the West of England soon after, seeking whatever one seeks in wilder, less populated places, and shortly after that, COVID happened. It’s been a shitty time for everyone, and Hoare may have gotten an extra dollop. And yet, if you’re looking for strife in the music, you’ll have to probe well below the surface. The sun-dappled exteriors of these preternaturally pretty tunes are serene and calming, though there are some rough, cold currents underneath.
“Jona,” for instance, haunts its space weightlessly, a silvery electric keyboard piercing its hum while looping electric guitar licks lace through its quietude. And yet there’s an unease in its cool, well-lighted interior, a restlessness in the words. “Hey, hey, hands are by his side, hey, hey, counting alibis,” murmurs Hoare (with Nathalia Bruno shadowing him sweetly), and there’s something troubling in the works.
These songs feel wispy because of the vocals, which sigh and shush through languid melodies, but the instruments are often more emphatic. “Want You Around,” drifts and dreams, despite its hard, anchoring beat, lost in reverie, even as a carnival keyboard erupts in the break. “Prodigal Son,” slips the grinding friction of feedback into its fluid guitar lines, just enough to catch your ear, and “Don’t You Cry No Tears,” maybe the second best song after “Jona,” hides a searing guitar and keyboard break under the murmur and swoon. Yet other cuts hang like smoke unspooling, evanescent and hard to pin down. “Mister Softie” is like a Kinks song nodding off in the car, a strong melody wrapped in clouds and indefiniteness.
But let it all wash over you, waves and eddies of pretty sound, tinged with regret and inevitability, but still very, very sweet. Backwater Collage makes a gorgeous, still place for itself if you let it in, and why wouldn’t you?

2/5/24.
Another Bandcamp Friday has come and gone. The best news of that day (for me at least) was the announcement of a new BMX Bandits LP. The "Dreaded Light" soundtrack was an excellent addition to the canon, but it wasn't Duglas' normal pop fare. "Dreamers on the Run" is slated for a late April release, and Tapete Records states that this LP is BMX Bandits' "most musically ambitious so far". Two pop gems are available right now, so it will be interesting to see what the rest of the LP brings us.
You can preorder the 2LP on Tapete's webpage. Their order page mentions Martin Newell, Jonathan Richman and Curt Boettcher as touchstones. Monorail Music is offering signed copies as well (Duglas Stewart is based in Glasgow and has been a friend and collaborator of Stephen Pastel (McRobbie) for years).
Finally, if you find yourself loving BMX Bandits, you should really listen to The Lookyloos.
