Forward thinking

Apologies to Crows - my lukewarm response to their recent LP Beware Believers was at least partially coloured by the fact that I'd been listening to Fontaines DC's Skinty Fia a lot at the time, my Buzz review of which has gone up online today to coincide with its release. The Dublin quintet's record sees them moving further away from their post-punk Sprechgesang roots, getting out of the game at just the right time - and becoming all the more interesting and engaging for it.
