it's a drive-by summer

This is a link to that link. 

It is beautiful. Melancholy and gentle, it rocks you like a lullaby. Our boys are at their best when they are being reflective. More than most bands, they can sing about real life, not just the esoteric, and make it feel genuine and important. They remind me of William Blake, in that respect.
Actually, maybe there's even more of a direct parallel there: to see a world in a grain of sand / and a heaven in a wild flower / hold infinity in the palm of your hand / and eternity in an hour vs we're still watching /your rainbow through the shower / and we still see you / in every sunflower. Perhaps they are Romantics.
In Drive-by Summer and Starlings Over Brighton Pier, I hear more echoes of Music In Mouth than I do of Bloodless Coup. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a ~return to their roots~, at least not before hearing the whole album, but it is kind of exciting. It's a style that works for them, and their commentaries on the human condition are so delightfully fresh, lyrically intriguing, and, often, funny that it never feels stale.
Listen a bit longer for bonus Rocky Took A Lover. Be excited with me for the new album, out in late June.
