ALBUM REVIEW: Confidence Man – 3AM (LA LA LA)

Chaos/Polydor

Released: 18.10.24

Whether the members of Confidence Man are siblings or a couple is one of the most Googled questions about the Aussie electro pop banger merchants. Regardless, their latest LP is a love-letter to 90s rave culture, and is their best work to date.

It’s a remarkable album, befitting a group that have been consistently on the rise since they were formed in 2018. The record comes in hot, with opener Who Knows What You’ll Find tipping its hat to Depeche Mode’s Just Can’t Get Enough, and it’s an absolutely joyous romp through ‘til the end.

There’s even time for two-step garage tunes and even deeper house cuts as the album nears its euphoric climax. One of the best I’ve heard this year, no doubt.
