Title - 2
Artist - St Johns Wood Affair

For those not in the know, St Johns Wood Affair’s second album 2 isn’t a follow-up ... it’s a psychedelic storm reborn. Recorded raw with zero digital polish, it’s a ramshackle wonder, brimming with happy accidents.

Secret Garden and Memory Lane tugs heartstrings with fragile piano, while Dream Farm — an unplanned epic—unleashes Keith Smart’s blistering Monster Strat solo.

Festival anthems collide with first-take magic, proving the best vibes come unscripted. This is vintage soul meeting chaotic gold — a sophomore leap that lands with wild, sweet abandon.

Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts and prepare for liftoff – meet St Johns Wood Affair, the band that proves the 60’s never really ended, they just got better with age!

5. Magic Carpet Ride [5:42]
6. Memory Lane [4:13]
7. Secret Garden [4:48]
8. TV Eyes [3:38]
9. Dream Farm [6:26]

This psychedelic portal back into a time when things seemed so innocent, so pleasing, so good damn happy, they open their new collection on the smoothly rhythmic Centre Of Your Universe and the guitar driven Follow Me To The Stars and then we get the pop-rock of Can You See Me? and the impassioned Hoping On The Train In Vain.

Then we get a trippy, free flowing Magic Carpet Ride which is itself backed effortlessly by the Oasis-esque Memory Lane, the opulent Secret Garden, the new musical experience rounding out on the determined rocker TV Eyes, coming to a close on the languishing beauty of Dream Farm.
