Premise: The single ‘Enemy’ and its baggy slackness may have given you an idea what to expect on After The End, but slow burn instrumental opener ‘Corridor’, with its whimsical prog rock stylings, really starts to give you some kind of preparation for what’s to follow. With the addition of Chris Horn on keys theres a definite leaning towards more retro pop than previous efforts; ‘Green Lady’ sounds more 80s than Jan Hammer’s Miami Vice theme (not a bad thing it has to be said) and more period jaunty rock follows with ‘Telephone’. Lead single ‘Little Killer’ neatly summarises the album in one handy track: it’s good held back by a lack of edge
