THE DEER TRACKS (London Lexington, 21/10/10)



I’m not entirely sure about the new glam-rock look, but the Deer Tracks’ first UK show in 18 months generally bodes well for their upcoming semaphore album. They’re understandably a bit rusty after their touring hiatus, but the new material appears to retain the same Mew-like majesty that made “Aurora” such an underrated pleasure, and “Yes, You Are My Broken Shield” remains an absolute blinder of a tune.
