"Lo + Behold," is the short opening track to the album, starting
with vocal harmonies that sing the only four lines of the song, slowly
building up to a full band, with a good feeling of tempo and rhythm. A
fantastic two minute burst that has little snippets of everything a good
indie song should have. The second track, and first single off of the
album, is arguably one of the best on there. "What Will You Do (When
The Money Goes)" is a truly brilliant number, as is the following
song "Wolves At Bay," despite the fact that it sounds very Arctic
Monkeys, which is something Milburn are renowned for, even if it is against
their will. It just so happens they've come out of Sheffield as well,
and they have quite a similar sound often. But being tagged as a poor
man's Arctics just isn't fair, they're definitely their own band, and
are bloody good too.
The whole album isn't high octane though, so don't be put off if you're
afraid of the slower tracks. Milburn have thrown three or four on their
new album, the best of which being "Summertime," which has the
added bonus of being unbelievably catchy. "Genius and the Tramp,"
closes the album, which breaks down into another vocal harmony, and ends
it all beautifully.
My personal favourite song off of the album, is "Lucy Lovemenot,"
a short tale of a woman who used to be all that and then turned into,
for lack of a better word, a slut. It's upbeat again, and with a perfect
and memorable vocal melody, this song is a winner in my mind.
4.5/5
