Their gig in Whelan's in May 2015 is still up there with my all time favourite gigs. And I finally got to see them again last Saturday in Hyde Park as part of The Cure's 40th anniversary and unsurprisingly (for me anyway) they were the highlights of the day. Anyway I digress...

Last time they were here they did Dublin then Belfast then London and Glasgow as a final gig on tour. Then spent the rest of that year and 2016 touring with the Cure. AS I say, if you have an opportunity get to see them live, do. They are immense. Looking like I'll get to see them in Paris with the Missus and then take them in in Hamburg with the lads before getting the train up to Aarhus to watch Denmark v Ireland a few days later. Hup!

I found the last release New Bermuda, pretty good, but not to the same level. However Ordinary Corrupt Human Love, will certainly be up there for me at the end of the year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU8g0XNyHRw

There are some amazing songs on the record. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGVv7SQ_jus Their debut was a minor classic and a lot of what made it so good was the atmosphere: the songs sounded spooky, but yet playful and there was a feeling running through that album of wild creativity. I was a bit worried that a bit extra outside help and attention on the second record would result in a case of sacrificing the uniqueness of their sound for a bit more tightness in songwriting, but it seems like the right balance has been struck.

It's Not Just Me, Ava and Donnie Darko are also worth a mention. Raging I missed the first album last time 'round. September 27th in Heaven. I'm giving serious consideration to hopping over for it. Why couldn't it be on the 28th, the Friday goddammit!
S.M.B. wrote: » Thursday night gigs ftw! Not a massive fan of Heaven so that's why I'm still on the fence. Donnie Darko is my favourite song of the year so far I think.

In the 90's edgy awesome 15 plus albums in.. Did I post that ? erm yeah after a few beers but I think what I meant to say is 15 albums in quite a discography.I liked gold mother but I couldn't name another song from the other 14 ..edgy in the 90's bit more of stadium/festival band in the present times..Do they still sing sit down at gigs I wonder?
