 Another gem from the 'Asleep in the Back' album September 2, 2001

Guy Garvey's brittle vocals mix superbly with the delicately poised and intricately constructed musical arrangements to give us another corker from one of the best new bands of the year by a mile. 'Powder Blue' is typical of this bands seemingly natural balance between the vocals and the instrumentals. The vocalist seems to fit into the music, almost disappear into the music, and vice versa. This band are so finely tuned that if you were to remove just one piece from the jigsaw, there would be an obvious gap in the music and the whole picture would fall apart.

I don't know how the news of this incredible band and this release made it to Canada, but it more than makes up for the scarlet feaver Europian explorers brought here centuries ago! This track is rhythmic and melodic gold. The clever combination of piano, electric guitar with thick, hearty revearb, lyrics, sax, piercing vocals and the sudden crashing conclusion make this my favourite track of the moment. The only lament, and the reason for the four stars is that this sweet melodic trip is cut off all too soon... "Please mommy, can't I have some more of that sweet Powder Blue candy...PLEASE?"
