The band also visited Dublin, Glasgow and Manchester last week supporting the most recent album Tell Me I’m Pretty – their most realized and consistent work according to Live4ever:

“The best songs on ‘Tell Me I’m Pretty’ see Cage and Auerbach blending their talents to create something distinguishable outside their usual artistic territory. ‘How Are You True’ has a night-time blues feel but its ‘Abbey Road‘-esque instrumentation unfolds tastefully, as subtle strings elegantly shimmer underneath a mid-tempo trudge.”

“The watery western groove of ‘Too Late To Say Goodbye’ features cackling high-hats and exceptional bass work, its mic swaying chorus refrain perhaps the album’s most rewarding moment, after which ‘Portuguese Knife Flight’ concludes on a high note with its spooky strut.”
