User Album Review
Under Charlie Fink's leadership, Twickenham's N&TW have evolved from T-shirted indie-folksters to preppy, drivetime rock band, going platinum with their last album, 2011's Last Night on Earth. That record saw Fink's Lou Reed-lite vocals fronting a nimble, coming-of-age 80s pop sound, and it's much the same on this fourth: filmic, Springsteen-inspired vignettes – young lovers absconding into the night, boys learning to be men – set to taut basslines, jaunty classical strings and streamlined guitars, recorded live for extra punch. They aim for nostalgia and wind-in-hair buoyancy, and manage the balance sweetly throughout, tipping into a triumphantly sappy guitar solo on All Through the Night. Reviewed by theguardian.com
