The debut of the Brits, HOW BEAUTIFUL LIFE CAN BE, made waves in their home country in 2021 and gave the group, which is well positioned with The Coral singer James Skelly as producer and his brother Alfie in management, their first number one album. The sequel is even better. Under the widescreen sound direction of Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Editors, Kasabian), which operates with more depth of focus, the songs, which oscillate between Jangle and Britpop, become arm-spreading hymns, not only for those youth rooms whose walls used to be posters by The Smiths or The Housemartins would have hung.

Finger-snapping early-sixties Soho chic, as Rialto temporarily perfected it (“I Know”), or the Lathums equivalent of the boundless good humor of The Beautiful South (“Lucky Bean”) are just as much a part of this placeholder-free record as they are Grand piano and acoustic ballad art from “Turmoil” or “Undeserving”. With which the namesake of the Jangle-Pop genre, Bob Dylan, can be appropriately brought to the fore in finding the conclusion. With regard to his 2001 album LOVE AND THEFT, he made the nice analogy that said album was like a greatest hits record, but without the hits – at least up to now. This also applies to FROM NOTHING TO A LITTLE BIT MORE.
