Sean from Metal Postcard Records:

“The Conspiracy's new album, "the New Zeitgeist" is finally here after two recent single releases this year and an ep on the opening day of 2023.

3 years in the making this album is less pop and a little darker than the last one.

If anybody has been following my writing on this cruelly ignored duo from London and the West country, respectively you'll know that I have on more than one occasion referenced late 70's early 80's Somerset band, The Mob. I do so again

And with this album they also make me think of both Zounds and later era XTC at the same time. If you are looking for a more contemporary reference I'd say Idles without the crowdpleasing tendecies.

This is a serious album full of slightly strange songs that sometimes veer on the psychedelic but not the bright lights big city psychedelic that most psych bands churn out these days but something more earthy and even ancient as you might have heard from the Dancing Did in the 80's.”

Monolith Cocktail Review of "The New Zeitgeist":

Eccentricity is not a common thing in music these days. It is on the whole frowned upon, with record labels and radio stations tending to play safe and stick with the same old or the same new soulless pop or indie by-numbers strum alongs. Music with intelligence and verve and wit are pushed to the backwaters; the likes of the great Julian Cope and Luke Haines becoming nothing more than an influential cult. And that dear readers can be the only explanation why The Conspiracy are not better known, and currently reside in the ‘never heard of them, they cannot be any good brigade’, where in fact I have heard of them and they are very good indeed. As I’ve written in previous reviews of their music, they are very bloody British; they wear their love of The Kinks and the aforementioned Julian Cope on their sleeves.
Intelligent witty lyrics and riffs that at times sound like an upmarket Billy Childish – the days of him not slumming it at Aldi but buying his riffs from Selfridges. See The Conspiracy are intelligent contrary buggers who do not dumb down their art, and in these days of Neanderthals wanting Oasis to reform that can only be applauded, and they should be given medals for trying to keep intelligent artful pop alive and well.

about

The Conspiracy London, UK

In late 1989 two cousins began recording original songs. Since then there have been many releases on German & English Independent labels, along with several inclusions on various compilations over the years. In a nutshell The Conspiracy's music is very English. It is an eclectic, intelligent & original interpretation of the finest elements of British Pop, Indie Rock & Folk, plus a lot more! ... more
