Prisoners has a touch of Twin Tapes to it imo. Or is it that Twin Tapes has a touch of Doves? :lol:

Didn't find 'Prisoners' to be as instant as 'Carousels' but it has grown on me with another listen as I hoped it would, 2 for 2 on these singles so far. Guessing there'll be at least 1 or 2 more songs out before the album given how short the gap between these first two songs was?

Good promo for 'Carousels' getting played at the end of the BT coverage of the champions league final tonight!

Out today! I had a quick listen in the background this morning and it sounded really promising - very 90s/Verve sounding in places but that's no bad thing!
On song number 4 so far and its absolutely bloody fantastic - epic sounding in fact with elements of 90s indie in Verve as you said but quite bluesy as well as the massive attack style songs like the single 'Carousel'.

What a fantastic album! It'll definitely need some more listens for me to take it all in. Hopefully it can't go to #1 next week!

This was a solid album although I do think 'Broken Eyes' was the only other song that quite stacks up to the quality of the first two singles unfortunately so I was hoping for a little better! ('I Will Not Hide' was also a bit more standout than the other album tracks, and I loved the outro of 'Universal Want' though it did just leave me wishing the whole song was like that).

 

Happy that they have got themselves another #1 album now anyway after the last one missed out by such a tiny margin.
