Just bought the new Starsailor, On the Outside, solely on the basis of their past two records and the first track on the new one, "In the Crossfire." Among all the '00s Britrock groups that get lumped together, Starsailor's easily my favorite.
Also bought a 2001 Tears for Fears greatest-hits comp, a long overdue activity for me, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had the 1986 version of "Mothers Talk" that they re-recorded for U.S. comsumption. Hadn't heard that version since it charted. Lovely.
Also enjoyed, but did not buy, Under the Influence of Giants, who sound like a poppier Maroon 5, with peppy horns to boot! Bit of Fastball in their sound too, I suppose. Check out their song "Ah Ha" if you get a chance if this sounds at all appealing.
