Theme Park - Theme Park Cd

Theme Park have finally released their self-titled debut. It's packed with summery, calypso, indie-funk, sunshine music. Theme Park have delivered here a great debut with a lot of personality.
The prospect of Theme Park the LP is intriguing not just because it demands the long-form expression of a band who have been short-form for so long, but also because it requires extended, consistent work in the studio.

By contrast, Theme Park have primarily become known in the UKand to lesser extent, the rest of Europefor their live sets, each one a concentrated burst of irresistibly catchy singles. On both these points, the recording of an album asks: what else do you have? While it does find them wanting in one or two areas, the experience of recording the LP has been largely successful for Theme Park, seeing them extend and gently experiment with their sound without compromising their core focus on carefree and infectiously fun pop music.
