Charlatans - Simpatico
Somewhat of a pipe-and-slippers album for every brit-indie graduand's 5th favourite band.
| 16 Apr 2006
Album title:
Simpatico
Artist:
Charlatans
Label:
Sanctuary
This album would appear to be something of a pipe-and-slippers foray for the Charlatans, reinforcing feelings of contentment with their role in the music world. Their popularity is proven in their longevity, whilst their relaxed touring schedules and Tim Burgess' West coast solo flirtations further prove comfort in their creative surroundings. This sentiment of course results in an album that pushes no boundaries, instead giving the impression of a band beyond taking risks. Hardcore fans will be happy enough with 'Simpatico', although without a great amount of appeal to the rest of us perhaps this is the ultimate risk. [Jon Seller]
Simpatico' is out on April 17.
