Album Description
Available in:
Watford, UK four piece The Spitfires are set to release their new album A Thousand Times via Catch 22 Records on 26th August 2016, and judging by the response on the other side of the Atlantic this quartet are making some serious waves that might be reaching US shores in the near future.
The new record is the follow up to their 2015 debut album Response, and sees the band building on their early mod influences - citing The Jam and Paul Weller specifically - as they move away from an homage to a classic sound and slip comfortably into their own skin with a maturity and richness that suits front man Billy Sullivan's songwriting down to the ground.
The enormous Brit-pop highlight of ‘Return To Me’ is strewn with admirable string work and arrangement worthy of some of the '60s greats, brought bang up to date with Sullivan's poetic lyrics detailing the ins and outs of British life in an outdated class system that seems to refuse to go away. Maybe we could all stand to learn something from the social issues that are subtly and often accidentally highlighted in his matter-of-fact delivery.
As a band they have an admirable work ethic that's more in line with their iconic heroes of the past, and seem to be relentlessly releasing new music and touring as far and wide as they're able to without the financial backing of a label, something we're seeing more and more of from the burgeoning UK DIY scene.
If there's a criticism of The Spitfires on this record it's that they don't often stray too far from the path, they know what they like and do it very well indeed, but there's not too much experimentation here. Fans of UK music will find plenty to love on A Thousand Times which sees the band's sound starting to edge towards the likes of Suede and The Verve, leaving us with the distinct impression that the only way is up for this impressive young outfit.
