Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded largely in Montreal, Canada, and a Czech fort, the third album by the eccentric English indie band swells with stadium-sized, anthemic ambition. The tracks balance their signature fascination with maritime history and idiosyncratic lyricism with massive post-punk guitar crescendoes, earning them a Mercury Prize nomination. It remains their most commercially successful and cohesive statement of grand-scale indie rock.
