New Promise Land Incorporated deftly marks a new era for the band, rejoicing the reconnection of five musical soulmates and bringing what fans crave the most to record: an explosion of raw soul and a live-to-record energy so palpable that it feels as though you’re right in the studio.
The record is a celebration of the power that this British outfit bring to the stage: be it masterfully creating a rock’n’roll rush so electric that you feel it pulsing through to the tips of your hairs (as in the psychedelic-tinged “Shadows”) or writing with poignant beauty that brings pin-drop serenity to the most chaotic of minds (see the tender charm of “Mongrels” and the lyrically stunning “Saving Grace”).
