This Year's Model (2021 Remaster) CD

For his second album, Elvis Costello finetuned his aesthetic by abandoning the California studio cat accompanists of his debut for the more aggressive, quirky and very British Attractions, who would define Costellos sound over the next several years.nbspWhere My Aimnbspis Truenbsphighlighted Costellos rootsy influences the Band, etc.,nbspThis Years Modelnbspwholeheartedly embraces the new wave outwiththeold mindset, favouring tightly wound ferocity over backporchisms. Irresistibly catchy, in a twitchy, neurotic, whiteknuckled way,nbspThis Years Modelnbspis Costello at his edgiest.
