Space Elevator

11

Killer Queen impressionists. It’s no great surprise to discover that the nucleus of Space Elevator emerged from the aftermath of playing as the house band in the We Will Rock You musical. Cheerfully bombastic in a polite way, their precision-tooled second album is stuffed with lavishly arranged Euro rock that seems tailor-made for a German dinner party.

Chucking in a steady stream of ABBA-esque arrangements and nods towards 60s girl groups, Curved Air, Whitesnake and Fabienne Shine’s badass Shakin’ Street, this ultra-professional quartet don’t put a foot wrong.
