Today sees the release of The Cribs 4th long player "Ignore The Ignorant" on the Wichita label. The first to feature legendary Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr as a full time member, there's a sense of high expectation given that the lead off single "Cheat On Me" shows a distinct movement away from the raw indie sound of previous releases in favour of an ironed out, more conventional hard Rock sound. Marr's ascending, distinctive licks are imprinted over what is an impressive opener, and an exciting taster of what we all hope will be one of the albums of 2009.
Someone said to me that I only listen to music to avoid doing something constructive with my life. I agreed, and decided to write about the music that fills my day. Beats studying particle physics, or inventing the light bulb that never pops in my opinion.
