Occasionally a band comes along with the miracle secret to crafting perfect pop music – not pop in the bastardised, Olly Murs sense of the word, but pop in its purest, most exuberant form. Orange Juice had it, Aztec Camera had it, The Drums have got pretty close, and this lot have certainly got it in spades. ‘Hunger’ could easily be a singles collection, such is the calibre of its contents. ‘Possibilities’ is 98 seconds of tongue in cheek frivolity, ‘It’s Obvious’ a bass driven, howling clarion call and ‘Fragile’ the brooding centrepiece. The other seven are pretty bloody great as well.
