Love Not Money

It's the perfect soundtrack for when you're feeling a bit smart, a bit sad, and very British.

A dignified, literate weariness that finds beauty in the struggle of everyday survival.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The stark contrast between the upbeat jangle of 'Ugly Little Dreams' and its crushing lyrics about broken female ambition.

The mournful, extended saxophone outro on 'Angel' that feels like a long sigh over a cold city.

The way the vocal harmonies on 'Ballad of the Times' create a sense of communal weariness against the rhythmic acoustic strumming.
