THE DEER TRACKS (London Pure Groove Records, 24/02/09)



I don’t normally bother reviewing in-stores, but this deserves a mention on the grounds it was fucking great (and pretty much a full set to boot, screw you Old Blue Last with your £5 entry!) They’re a Swedish seven-piece initially described to me as “a cross between M83, Mew and Múm” which is a pretty bold claim, but one that is well supported here. Beautiful shimmering soundscapes galore, and the brilliant closer Yes, This Is My Broken Shield was every bit as epic (and LOUD) as it is on record. If only more lunchtimes were like this…
