This Is London

by The Times

This Is London cover art

Driven by Ed Ball's distinct songwriting vision, 'This Is London' transcends the standard trappings of the mod revival by incorporating broader pop artistry and sharp social commentary. The concept album paints a vivid, albeit cynical, portrait of life in Thatcher-era Britain through a lens of stylized 1960s pop pastiche.
