So Close

Instantly catchy comeback from the usually raucous UK outfit. A new line up underlines a stronger emphasis on melodies and keyboards, but there is still enough power chords and wild and unleashed energy to satiate the SBS lovin’ fraternity. Chris Olley’s vocals are perfectly pitched to steer ‘So Close’ along a taut path of pure pop and pure noise assault.

The kind of thing Mogwai might come up with if they were bothered with choruses and middle eights and all that jazz.
