There seems to be resurgence in well made, emotive rock coming out of various regions of the UK at the moment. Straw is the latest bunch to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Toploader and Elbow . This single is the first fruits of the band's major label signing to Columbia and apparently it's sublime, guitar-driven rock-pop brilliance is indicative of the shape of things to come with the release of their 'Keepsakes' album later this year. After all the praise from various corners of the music press we can all enjoy their indie brilliance. 'Sailing Off The Edge Of The World' includes the bonus tracks 'Golden Age' and 'Great Art'. |
