    We’ll come clean right now: we’re big British Sea Power fans. Had Machineries of Joy been a dud, we’d probably have kept schtum in the hope it’d turn out to be a grower. Happily, our moral compass isn’t being compromised at all when we state that their fifth album-proper might well be their finest hour to date. Highlights are plentiful: the anthemic, string-swept title-track, a glorious, SFA-esque romp called ‘K-Hole’ and the horn-flecked barn-stormer ‘Monsters of Sunderland’, to name but three. Lyrically, it’s as weird and wonderful as we could have hoped for too, finding Yan and Hamilton yelping about Franciscan monks, ketamine and French female bodybuilders-turned-erotic movie stars. Best indie band in Britain? Maybe, just maybe…

    Review

    Already responsible for a superb run of singles and EPs, this London-based trio were widely earmarked as something special a long time ago. On the strength of their debut LP, it still seems we all vastly underestimated them. Thanks, in part, to some supremely skillful production, Elena Tonra’s bewitching indie-folk is now simultaneously intimate and expansive, offering up a sorrowful world of suffocation, death and lost love that’s swathed in atmospheric reverb. True, with its mere 10 tracks weighing in at a pretty hefty 45 minutes, if you’re looking for a quick, feel-good fix, this probably isn’t the record for you. But if you want an album to luxuriate in – to get lost in – If You Leave is there for the taking. And it will astound you time after time.
