Picked up a copy of The Devoted Few‘s new CD “The Billboard Noises” yesterday from HMV, but I didn’t get a chance to listen to it ’till this morning. Man – it was sooooo worth the wait! It sounds awesome. I am absolutely loving the vibe of “Misery Loves Company”, but there’s nary a track on the disc I don’t like. “Counting Cars” sounds mad! Already on the iPod, and it hasn’t left the CD player yet today…
Missed what sounds like an awesome gig on Saturday night, but caught an excellent, stripped back — c’mon guys, it’s a stretch to call it “acoustic” 😉 — set last night which was simply awesome. Dave was trying some new tricks that just sounded soooo damn fine. And I loved Ben’s solo set too – I can’t remember the last time I heard “Entertaining Anna” and the version last night should have been bottled. Brilliant!
I don’t want to sound like a fawning fan (Hah! Too late for that) but I reckon this album should do good things for the band… Go check it out!
thanks for the great rap, grant! glad you’re enjoying the album.
you’re absolutely right about the ‘acoustic’ set. twas more like the ‘marginally softer’ set.
