The Frames: “Revelate” (DC Records)

Glen Hansard’s renown as king compere of the touching and enchantingly epigrammatic lyric is doubled in intensity by the release of the comeback single ‘Revelate’. It is indeed a revelation as it shows that The Frames have lost none of their intelligent passion and commitment to making great music above and beyond facile commercial concerns. If they hold on to their uniqueness, their undoubted talent will see them fly higher than ever. An episodic tale of disenchantment.
