This album's been out for a few months now, but I'm new to the Peace party. Not that there's anything especially 'new' about it; the foursome sound, in a very 'in' statement, like a vital part of the current Nineties revival - BritPop coming to the fore all over again. It might sound a little peppy at times, a little too polished and upbeat compared to the slightly raw edge that other bands created and have been creating, but something about their verging-on-earnest sound feels like 'home'. It's probably the effect of my parents' taste in music rubbing off on me there really. But if the cultural rehashing of the Nineties is spreading to music in this way, then I'm going to welcome it with a smile and a bit of an awkward dance. In a crop top, perhaps!
