Remember Athlete’s first album? Not me. But no doubt we’ll be hearing far more from them now that their new album Tourist is due out in the shops at the end of this month. It’s on iTunes in ‘partial’ form now.

Fortunately it won’t make be making it’s way to my house. If it did, I’m sure every atom of my being would crumble in despair. When I first heard Wires, the single that precedes this album, I was sure that Coldplay were returning with more of their drippy sleepy junkyard of dreary musical gunk. (There are even two CD versions of the single to rake in some extra cash – must be nice for Parlophone.) Anyhow, when I found out it wasn’t Coldplay I was frankly appalled that someone else would happen to sound like them (either intentionally or not). So please, don’t go anywhere near this album. They make Keane sound innovative by comparison!
