Along the way, theyve ticked off milestones ranging from a Number Two chart placing and Mercury Prize nomination for debut album The Overload, to a co-sign from Elton John who joined the band to guest on a string-laden reworking of album closer 100% Endurance.Yet, whilst the bands trajectory continuously shot upwards, vocalist James Smith and his wife had also welcomed in a son. And its this duelling sense of responsibility and ambition, guilt, love, drive and everything in between that forms the narrative backbone of brilliantly exploratory second album Wheres My Utopia.Written in snapshots of time between a relentless touring schedule, and produced jointly by the band and Gorillaz Remi Kabaka Jr, the quartets second act is a giant leap forward into broad and playful new sonic waters. The main reason that post-punk was the vehicle for Album One was because it was really affordable to do, but we always liked so much other music and this time weve had the confidence to embrace it, James explains. Across the record, influences ranging from Fela Kuti to Ennio Moricone via Spillers 00s pop smash Groovejet make themselves known.Its a celebratory palette upon which Smith allowed himself to reach lyrically deeper into himself than ever. Gone, largely, are the outward-facing character studies of yore, replaced with a set of songs that stare fully into the headlights of life, wrangling with the frontmans own fears and foibles to create a sort of Promethean narrative - but with jokes. You can commit to the idea that were just animals who eat and fuck and then we die, and thats fine, he suggests. But for me, creativity always seems to be the best way of articulating the absolute minefield of what human existence is.
