Captain - Frontline

It's getting to that time of year. Days are shorter, silly hats are a must and Radio One get excited about a tune that 'evokes those fabulous memories of summer'. This, my freezing friends, could be that tune. Breezy as the wind from a butterfly's wings, it has the potential to be 'The Official Traffic Jam on the Way to Work Song' of this winter. Captain's debut single Frontline takes its lead from The Concretes / Magic Numbers school of congenial, harmless tunesmithery without the added guarantee of occupying your brain-phones for the day ahead. Which is also nice. [Finbarr Bermingham]
