Slipway Fires

Razorlight

A pivot from frantic indie-rock to polished, piano-led ballads. Wistful, cinematic, and deeply concerned with the fading echoes of London's social scenes.

January 1, 2008 · Vertigo

Find on Amazon

A polished, theatrical reflection on fame and fading connections set against a rainy London backdrop.
