FUTUREHEADS, NEWS AND TRIBUTES

Futureheads expand their jerky punk sound, with mixed results.

Allowing breathing room between staccato guitars works wonders on Back To The Sea, but is less effective on the drab Burnt. Faster tracks such as Yes/No sound fabulous, while freak-out Return Of The Berserker is merely a racket. Theres enough here to thrill existing fans, but this wont continue the bands upwards trajectory at quite the steepness they would have hoped.
