Description
A quick listen to the Sunderland quartet's follow-up to their eponymous 2004 debut appears to confirm the 'it's grim up north' cliche. Bathed in an austere 1979 light, tracks such as 'Cope' and 'Yes/No' are the very stuff of indie modism with their Wire-like, post-punk riffs. And then, on 'Fallout' and 'Skip to the End', their belligerent, white boy rock changes shape and reveals the brightly coloured, rhythmic band within. Best of all is the penultimate 'Thursday', wherein Doves-friendly melancholia meets shimmering Beach Boys harmonies. Inspirational stuff.
said Ray Davies, recalling his childhood. "I knew what I was good at. I was good at making up stories, drawing pictures and running. I could invent situations. I lived in an absolute dream world".Born in Muswell Hill, north London, on June 21, 1944, by the mid-'60s the taciturn Davies emerged from his teenage reveries to become the most astute chronicler of Britain's move from mono-channel, post-War drudgery into the possivilities suggested by the dawn of the rediffusion Age. This, 15-track MOJO tribute is testament to the evergreen nature of both Ray's songs and the ongoing infulence and power of The Kinks.
