Album Review

Their first essential album in 20 years.

Here is a band who sound like they know exactly who they are, what it is that they are trying to do, and how they are going to do it

An accomplished and ambitious record that works on every level

These are all energising pop tunes, but you’re left wondering how many of them you can take in one go
