Release Notes:
Jaunty pop tykes The Maccabees may have spent their formative
years reminiscing about swimming pools at their favourite
leisure centre or cigarette burns in ladies' clothing like
young pups on a voyage of social discovery but here they've
undoubtedly stumbled upon their darker side.
Anyone unsure as to whether 'Colour It In' had The Maccabees
down as mere one trick ponies is going to be in for a major
case of character re-assessment, as 'No Kind Words' sees them
in more introspective mode than any of their previous work,
not to mention slightly more acerbic in its riposte at the
song's subject ("If you've no kind words to say, you should
say nothing more at all") that suggests they've been
listening to the more atonal wares of artists such as Nick
Cave, Interpol or The National rather than their more
happy-go-lucky capital-based aficionados such as Noah And The
Whale et al.
Despite still retaining the pop-tinged flavour of yore, 'No
Kind Words' is unlikely to find itself broadcast on
Computerised Playlist FM, which can only be a good thing and
makes the impending release of forthcoming second album 'Wall
Of Arms' a mouth-watering proposition indeed.
