The name of the band stuck in my mind. Ah, heck, let's buy the third album. Heard it was British folk music. My mind generated a Mumford wife. It turned out to be the Cars playing Tom Petty and Bob Seger songs. Maybe a distant Suburbs relative. Wait, was that Robyn Hitchcock?
What I've learned is that this is an electronic departure from their first two releases. Plenty of acoustics, but apparently not as many as before. Wonder how many original fans hated this(...to be continued...)? Their biggest seller yet. Top 10 UK charts and worldwide sales highest ever. This was the first single. Damn, as I play it, I get a Bob Geldof/Boomtown Rats vibe.
Released in March, it's only $8 (for 33 minutes). Hey, that's pretty current for YeOldeMadRocker (not for nothin' but I already have Blondie's new record that comes out stateside three weeks from now...).
Hey, I've done my job. I've given you half-a-dozen RIYL's. Just in case you're wondering, I didn't keep a damn song...
