- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
It would be quite easy, at first listen, to dismiss The Maccabees as a bunch
of second-rate Futurehead copyists and move on. The jittery stop-start
rhythms, the guitar riffs so sharp they're angular - everything's there.
Yet there's a tenderness to this four-piece that can't help but tug at your
heartstrings. The way that Orlando Weeks sings "I noticed you, you stuck out
like a sore thumb" is heart-warming enough, but to follow it with "the most
beautiful sore thumb I've ever seen", well, it's enough to make you
immediately reserve a copy of the forthcoming album.
Rather like previous single First Love, this is dark and edgy indie guitar
rock with an unashamedly romantic heart. Don't let them slip under the radar
- The Maccabees are one of the best new bands of the year.
