Undercover single review by Mike Cambell on www.whisperinandhollerin.co.uk

What ‘Undercover reminds me of most is Blur. Blur, lest we forget have written some of the greatest ballads ever (Out of Time, This is a Low, Tender, The Universal, To the End, No Distance Left to Run, I rest my case m’Lord). ‘This is the comeback / from the comedown / it is the aftershock / from the new sound’ so starts lead singer Andy over acoustic guitars. The song builds slowly to a chorus of ‘It’s the lover / You got undercover’ before they chuck in some strange whizzing electronic sounds that should spoil the whole thing but bizarrely bring a tear to my eye. What’s it about? Haven’t a fuckin’ clue but it’s marvellous and deserves to be sung back to the band by fields full of pissed people at a festival near you. Check out their website for details on getting your hands on this, you won’t regret it.
