Bleep

Almost ten years on from when they burst onto the UK indie scene with Latchmere – a post-punk ode to the charms of a South London swimming pool – The Maccabees return with another London-inspired album, this time the focus has been shifted east slightly. Marks to Prove It is full of gritty intimacy and astounding beauty, mixed into a whole. From the infernal saxophone line on 'River Song' to the earth-shuddering bass and tickled guitar atmospherics 'Kamakura' – The Maccabees provide a truly career-defining album.
