The band are touring after releasing Stay Together last year – in his Live4ever review, Andy Peterson found an album on which there’s ‘no Bon Iver-style complete rejection of the past’.
“That opener We Stay Together, with its deftly chopped guitar, rolling cantina piano and Bee Gees harmonies is a departure will be obvious to regular listeners, but Wilson’s vocal is as down the line as ever, just sounding now more cocktail than Tetley Bitter.”
“You sense that once this deep breath has been exhaled the temptation to just go with it was too strong. Higgins is also most obviously at work on the next two songs – Hole In My Soul and Parachute – on which the big synths and nothing-left-in-the-locker choruses prove to be as universal as they’re definitively hummable.”
