[img]http://images.play.com/covers/13194021x.jpg[/img] Forget preconceptions of boorish Manc laddishness û MorrisseyÆs championing of this fast-rising band is beginning to make sense. Two years on from their top five debut St. Jude, Liam Fray and his Middleton homeboys present an album to seal their role as the Stereoasisphonics-lookalikes that itÆs okay to like. These are strong, conventional songs full of clever flicks and feints, deliciously produced by Ed (Suede, Pulp, White Lies) Buller. That FrayÆs savvy, gritty-funny lyrics will be compared to Alex TurnerÆs just emphasises that arch couplets are so rare in pop today that we only have one reference point outside Moz himself. Most tracks bounce at a comfortable mid-pace, ensuring maximum sing-along factor, and perhaps Falcon flags before its end. Yet Buller ensures that even the most throwaway boast cunning builds and kinks, and FrayÆs narratives compel you to hear the rest of the story. By now youÆll know radio favourite You Overdid It Doll, its mildly cautionary tale of ôa space cadet dressed in fibre glassö driven by a catchy rhythmic motif thatÆs curiously reminiscent of Rod StewartÆs critically unassailable classic DÆya Think IÆm Sexy? If that wasnÆt enough for white-trash-disco fans, BlondieÆs Heart of Glass is later name-checked by the boys. DonÆt be misled, though: this remains æindie-rockÆ, albeit tanned and tarted-up like one of the girls on a night out in FrayÆs songs. Yes, Arctic Monkeys would be the closest thing û somewhere between Favourite Worst Nightmare and Humbug û but there are enough musical flourishes and pining ballads to earn the band the Elbow comparisons they blatantly desire. (To show theyÆve got, you know, soul.) ItÆs hard to resent their straining when they do it with this muscular elegance. Maybe these songs lose their everyman anthem cred when Fray lurches into second album clichés of the poor-me-the-rock-god-missing-my-bird-cos-IÆm-on-the-road-beating-off-gr oupies-with-a-stick variety. And the would-be showstopper Last of the Ladies, is plain soppy. But at its best û Cross My Heart & Hope to Fly, Scratch Your Name Upon My Lips, the reflective The Rest of the World Has Gone Home, the heated Sycophant û this is distinctive and impressive. Falcon will set The Courteeners soaring. Deluxe edition including a bonus cd of 5 extra tracks. Enjoy! [img]http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5886/tracklistxy2.gif[/img] DISC 1: 01.
