Life\u2019s full of surprises. My teenage self wouldn\u2019t have believed that in 2024 I would be reviewing a new album by One The Juggler. Granted, 2020\u2019s \u2018The Ocean Man\u2019 was a welcome return after the \u2018Destination Planet Blue\u2019 compilation. There were new, joyous tunes, but while \u2018Memoir Days\u2019 might occasionally be reminiscing of the pomp and ambition of youth, it holds together better as an album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018We Love It All\u2019 is really an intro, full of optimism and positivity, leading into \u2018Talking To Ourselves\u2019. This song, along with lead track \u2018Jennifer Heaven\u2019, are the natural successors to \u2018Nearly A Sin\u2019; the mix of acoustic guitar and Ronno styled electric, with a touch of Bolan melodies. Yes, the Bowie influences are still here, but it\u2019s the quality of songwriting that was always the band\u2019s strength. Their debut was full of songs they\u2019d already honed live, like many bands. \u2018Memoir Days\u2019 sounds like the true follow up album, with the title track urging \u201cbe sure to write it all down now, while it\u2019s still fresh in your mind\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
