“Antiquated idealism continues on the acoustic, piano led double-act of the title track and ‘You’re My Waterloo’,” our album review reads. “The romantically attuned songwriting of Barat and Doherty has always shined in quieter moments, and at times is often favourable to the garage rock clamour of earlier tracks.”
“Cromwell and Orwell are name-dropped in the former track, where Barat croons a message of pub-based collectiveness in the face of lost dreams and overbearing government institutions keen to dispel hopes of revolution.”
The tour continues in Nottingham tonight, and stay tuned for a full review on Live4ever once it arrives in London later this week.
