The follow-up to 2005’s acclaimed Carnival, New Model Army’s tenth studio album finds the band as dedicated to their art as they were when they formed twenty seven years ago. As ever, they pool a range of very British influences from punk to folk to create their own recognisable sound.

The songs on High brood and swell beneath Justin Sullivan’s Richard Thompson-esque vocals, creating maximum tension as he lays waste to all the world’s ills. The expanded five-piece line-up gives the music far more depth, with newest recruit Marshall Gill’s lead guitar lending a rich atmosphere across the album.

After nearly thirty years together, it’s impressive that New Model Army are making records at all, but to be making records that genuinely stand up to earlier releases as some of their best work is truly amazing.
