Maccabees - No Kind Words

Free Download from website. 

Thank you yummy musical friends.

After the "this is gonna be amazing" anticipation and hype as the tune dances its way onto your comp calms down you can hear No Kind Words for the haunting stunner this is, not in a jaw-dropping run around your room kind of way, but in a classic warm fuzzy but lump throaty Maccabees kind of way. A definate grower, but you'll be craving that echoing chorus after a couple of plays. Its maybe a little bit darker than the last album, but still infectiously approachable and awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee.

With a university tour in May I'm pretty determined to get my hands on some dollar for ticketage, don't sell out or I'll quite possibly cry. 

I just found this in an interview with the Maccabees lead singer Orlando Weeks. 

You were on the recent NME rock n roll riot tour due to a reputation for a great live act, but also, compared to the other bands on the line up, you wrote songs that actually mean something, other than just singing about having a good time.
It’s true for us, but I don’t think it needs to hold true for everyone. As long as you write a song about an experience that’s worth telling, that’s the main thing.

How lovely!
