The Maccabees have offered up their take on Adele‘s comeback single ‘Hello‘, which since its premiere last month has apparently been streamed, viewed and downloaded by every single person on the planet. Twice.
The band were in BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge for the cover which can be seen below, as they also looked to keep their brilliant 2015 album ‘Marks To Prove It‘ fresh in the memory ahead of the launch of a UK tour in Nottingham on the 18th of this month.
“‘Ribbon Road‘ is dark and brooding, but also has that wonderfully familiar, upbeat chug of tracks like ‘Can You Give It‘, irresistible and inevitable for a Maccabees record – almost their own Bo Diddley beat you might say,” our review reads.
“‘Spit It Out‘ has Arcade Fire’s, well, fire which, when pitted against the hazy and wistful shimmer of ‘Kamakura‘, is a wonderful dichotomy. One a moment of absolute feeling, the other merely a half remembered emotion.”
