NME Reviews

The Aliens

Setting Sun

Guilty pleasure: does such a thing exist? The debate’s been raging for years, but here we have proof that indeed it does. Begging, stealing and borrowing from pop history (think Soundtrack Of Our Lives, The Beatles and Jimmy Webb hi-fiving in a big spinning teacup) this is all fun-time Top Gear riffs, my-girl’s-gone lyrics and seaside keys that will have even the fluoro-kids up and dancing. Put it down to irony, eh people?
