Curve of the Earth

Curve Of The Earth reveals a band still flush with urgency and ideas. And crucially, there's now emotional punch to match the Londoners' deft melodic touch. Opener quot;Telemorequot; showcases this muscular maturation with it's pounding drums and kinetic riffs while the sublime quot;1985quot; and quot;The End Upquot; come matted with hard-earned feeling. Their knack for indie floor-fillers endears-quot;Bubblegumquot;'s pogoing riff is a life-affirming joy-but this is a band now emboldened by a more substantial and compelling purpose. The band claims that the album is a result of rediscovering their gang mentality, and could be their most personal recording to date. quot;We've been through quite a lot in the last couple of years,quot; says guitarist Will Rees, quot;and there have been certain realizations that come with playing in a band that has been together for over two decades, I think these songs have real feeling about them.quot;
