Short but sweet. The debut album by Brakes – the band fronted by ex-British Sea Power keyboardist Eamon Hamilton – may have been characterised by short, sharp blasts of manic noise-pop, but this, the follow-up, is a far more considered record, with the likes of Hold Me In The River and If I Should Die Tonight exhibiting a new-found love of country music that sits seamlessly with the Brighton group’s… well, brevity. The result is an album that, brilliantly, is as exciting as it is original-sounding. Brakes - The Beatific Visions, released 06 November 06 on Rough Trade.
