I thought they were gonna be huge, think they broke around the same time as Bloc Party, neither ever really hit the heights of their initial promise IMO.
Always Like this – sometimes the obvious (most popular) ones are that for a reason!! Foot tapping, head nodding, standing at the back brooding, pint in hand brilliance.
“Eyes off you” It has a beautiful lullaby, lilting tone and drifts along and then all of a sudden in the middle of it, it explodes into this epic bomb. Always gives me goosebumps. Such a great great band.
Shuffle
I love the simplicity of this beautifully bittersweet song.
The way the track just bounces along belies the lyrics… and then the break back in towards the end.
Special nod to the goosebump inducing …
“You gave to me
All I know
I will stay here
I will not go”
“Why won’t you believe in it until it’s gone”
That’s a great track
Lights Out, Words Gone is a lovely track. Always reminds me of a good time that cam before a bad time
My favourite track is “Come To” owing to its jangly Cocteau Twins guitar, and how Ed takes the bass for a walk and the backing vocals sing the first chorus during the coda, beautiful.
Its gotta be “How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep”
It was the soundtrack to my summer 2012 and brings back some great memories
Luna!
“I will bathe myself
Then I’ll wear you for the night
Colours fading, frayed at the sides
(You’re changing in the light)
Oh why is your face so pale and white?”
Reminds me of by wife, who is a huge fan (don’t tell her I said pale and white though)
Or huge.
Is that because she is tall, dark and handsome?
“Gorgeous shiny black hair all down her back… none on her head… just on her back.”
None of their songs appear to be about cycling. I don’t know what you’re pedalling here but it tyres me.
Give it a rattle!
Is it ok for me to admit that I never heard of them?
+1
You’re in luck then! Now you can listen to all of their music without the pain of waiting for new stuff. They’re fierce good.
Was a winner announced?
They’ve gone and done a bunk for lack of interest. Ah sure not ta worry.
