single trackRed Rum Club – The Elevation
Red Rum Club – The Elevation
For a great live act like Red Rum Club, not being able to play live is a horror scenario. Especially with a new album coming up, that was meant to be heavily promoted by a large chunk of gigs. Obviously, the Liverpudlian sextet are not the only ones with this problem.
Luckily, the tracks on Red Rum Clubâs upcoming sophomore album The Hollow Of Humdrum are not only future live staples. They are also very well tailored for radio airplay and inclusion in streaming playlists. The long-player (out on 2 October) contains a wide variety of songs. They range from acoustic ballads to disco themed festival anthems. Expect theatrical brass lines, pop choruses, rumbling bass lines, western guitars and Latin percussion. A melting pot spelled f-u-n.
Following former Carte Blanche Music Wildcard Ballerino, the band now put album opener The Elevation in the spotlights. Another euphoric and shamelessly funky pop tune that begs you to pump up the volume.

Red Rum Club – Ballerino
If you like upbeat, optimistic, catchy summer tunes full of hooks and with a triumphant horn section (like I do), look no further! Red Rum Club, specialists in âhands in the airâ music, have a great new track out.
With their trademark feelgood songs, the Liverpool sextet are ambassadors and catalysts of good times. New single Ballerino is no exception. Lyrically, this track tackles toxic masculinity and the fear of really letting go.
Lead singer Fran Doran says: âI am always the fool that gets up first at a wedding. The âballerinoâ is me. The way I see it is that if Iâm dancing, then I donât know what youâre doing sitting there, you should be too. Ultimately, itâs about boys not dancing and that sense of unnecessary, toxic masculinity that stops people expressing themselves. Itâs like a Billy Elliot story, just forget what anyone else thinks and dance!â
Ballerino is the third single in anticipation of Red Rum Clubâs sophomore album The Hollow Of Humdrum. It’s set to be released on 2 October and was produced by Chris Taylor. He worked with Blossoms and The Coral before.
This week, Ballerino is the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, and will feature prominently at the top of this blog for a full 7 days!

Cry Club – One Step
Usually, I donât like to pigeon-hole, but it can be so clarifying sometimes. Especially when describing music. This time, Iâll leave it to the band to explain what theyâre up to. Depending on the publication, Iâve seen Cry Club call themselves a âqueer bubblegum punk duoâ or an âangry gay guitar pop duoâ. Get the picture? For further reference, Iâd like to add they sound a bit like MisterWives, a band I like a lot!
Cry Club are Heather Riley and Jono Tooke. Theyâre from the Australian town of Wollongong, but currently live in Melbourne. After meeting as students â acting for Riley, music for Tooke â they eventually formed Cry Club. Originally as a Siouxsie & The Banshees/The Cure cover band, they soon started releasing original songs. Their debut album God Iâm Such A Mess collects six of the eight singles the duo released so far, alongside six new tracks. All of them produced by Gab Strum (a.k.a. Japanese Wallpaper), who worked with everyone from Charli XCX to Death Cab For Cutie, as well as many fellow-Aussie acts.
One Step is Cry Clubâs new single. If you like another description, let me give you âno-holds-barred high throttle noise popâ. Riley recalls this being the first song the two wrote from scratch together (not building off an instrumental Jono had already written). Tooke explains: âItâs about what itâs like to see a friend go through some hard shit and wanting them to get help, but them resisting making that first step to getting better.â

Your âAll-Timeâ Favourites (2017-2022)
The last six years, starting in 2017, I posted 10 musical recommendations per week on this blog. A total of well over 3.000 tracks, mostly by upcoming â often female (fronted) – artists from all over the world. As I explained yesterday, Carte Blanche Music is entering a new era. One in which Iâll focus my efforts on my constantly updated Spotify playlist.
For sure, that doesnât mean the blog is closing down. Itâll continue to be the home of my âbest ofâ collection (Wernerâs Weekly) on Monday mornings (CET) and my favourite new track (the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard), every Wednesday morning. Also, Iâll post the latest additions to my playlist on Saturdays. For updates, follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
No better way to round up the last six years than by publishing the Your âAll-Timeâ Favourites, a chart compiling the 500 most popular (as in best-read) Carte Blanche Music recommendations from 2017 to 2022. Youâll find the Top 25 below, but click through for the full list. My original recommendations are behind the links.
