Now they\u2019ve returned with \u2018Curious Things\u2019, yet another authentic slice of Peppermint Heaven\u2019s retro style (with a modern edge).<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2019Curious Things\u2019, out today, sees Peppermint Heaven take their listeners on a journey of analogue synths, funky and intricate bass-lines, and syncopated guitar chords. Opening track, \u2018Sun Goes Down\u2019 is an uptempo song which sets the pace for the album: Sun-drenched indie pop, amid pastel visions of sunsets and long drives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The album explores a range of tempos and moods, such as the melancholy and soulful, \u2018Monday Morning\u2019, a thoroughly relatable track. There\u2019s also a seriously technical level of bass playing skill on funktastic numbers such as \u2018Know Your Rights\u2019, \u2018You\u2019, and \u2018Don\u2019t Give Up So Easy\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Curious Things\u2019 is a brave and unique take on 80s music, using contemporary production techniques. With Peppermint Heaven once again seamlessly blending the old and new, it\u2019s a glorious album and no end of fun.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Curious Things\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7e7XY97VrBnsUcCTAGawqt?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The release of Peppermint Heaven\u2019s debut album, \u2018Precious Things\u2019 was met with high acclaim, with fans and critics alike amazed at their unique and truly vintage sound, with a sonic pastiche of Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Depeche Mode, and New Order.
