UNBELIEVABLY good record!!!! It's like New Order meets Oasis/Pulp. Tremendous fun. Anyone else heard it?

I find it fun in parts, but I don't feel the need to listen to it more than I have. They had a huge crowd reaction at Glastonbury. I was quite surprised.

I've found myself listening to this quite a lot really. One of those albums that felt like an old favourite on the first listen. Just something very simple and appealing about it. It's short, sweet and has some lovely lyrics; it's the sound-track to my walk to work more often than not. And I find myself humming it on waking up, which pretty much my bench-mark for catchiness.

"Somebody told me / You had a boyfriend / Who looks like a girlfriend / That I had in Feb-ru-ary of last year..."

Yeah, it's definitely not a terribly original record. But...it just reminds me of Common People or Definitely Maybe or even fucking Urban Hymns where every song is just so damn LISTENABLE, that you find serious comfort and joy in the familiarity of it all. Even on the first listen.
