On their fifth full-length the acclaimed Oxford-based rock band starts a new chapter in their successful career. More than ever this chapter is directly inspired by the world they live in but despite all the fascination for doom and gloom there's also a hopeful note about it. Time for a talk with band leader Yannis Philippakis about the whole misery.
Love comes, love goes and in-between everything can happen. Over the course of five years the British/American duo created wonderful little indie rock anthems that to me, in retrospect, also document various stages of a relationship. Even three years after the band abandoned their music remains quite close to me and this is my attempt to tell you why that is the case.
