The first thing that strikes you about this album from Swindon band All Ears Avow is how much work has gone into it.
The production is sharp, clean and interesting and the songs well-crafted and developed.
This features all the usual hallmarks of the band – sweet melodies over crunching riffs and massive beats, but this time out adds extra touches and flourishes that give so much more depth to the records - the horns during You’re Not Yourself make me smile like a loon, not something you expect to experience when listening to these guys normally, but this gives a much truer reflection of the personalities behind the music.
