The Frames Burn The Maps (Plateau
Records) *****
If life was fair, The Frames would
be recognised as the undisputed kings of pop.
The Dublin/Chicago quintet rarely
put a foot wrong in their last four albums - and the new one, Burn The
Maps is, arguably, the best of them all.
An amorphous melange of trippy rock
and grandiose string-laden crowd pleasing anthems, the fifth album is an
utterly charming affair.
Glen Hansard's vocals are as strong
as ever - particularly on belting tracks such as Fake and Sideways Down.
For the Birds, the previous album,
went platinum - and rightly so - but it possesses only a fraction of the
blissful meanderings of Burn The Maps.
It's a record with everything you
want from a record.
From gorgeous melancholy and melody
to spiky, angry pop, Burn The Maps is an engaging album.
Even the slow building tracks such
as the wonderful Happy have an incredible energy - the sort of verve you'd
associate with a band starting out and with something to prove.
Burn The Maps is, quite simply, brilliant. |
