Now the Broken Family Band with their new album" Hello Love". More pop tunes hitting the same notes and chord changes we've heard a million times. That's the trouble working in a record shop you get fatigued by the same old stuff. Mmmm ok not a bad bunch of songs and some have a feel good factor to them with a summer swing that captures the mood aided by the Belle and Sebastian guitar sounds. I wouldn't turn the radio off if they came on. File under Rock/pop. On Track and Field

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

‘Hello Love’ is the fourth album from Cambridge’s The Broken Family Band, the follow-up to 2006’s critically acclaimed ‘Balls’. Recorded with Brian O'Shaughnessy (Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Beth Orton) in just twelve days last winter, it’s the band’s strongest yet, a superlative, warm-hearted collection of twisted love songs. It’s also their heaviest, most diverse, and – dare we say it – least countrified album to date.  ·“We wanted to rock a bit harder,” says frontman Steve Adams. “It’s our trajectory - we like the fact that we're getting heavier with each record and we all enjoy hitting our things hard. Ten years in, we'll sound like Mastodon”.The Broken Family Band’s sound has always belied the band’s English origins, and there’s plenty here that places them firmly in the mid-Atlantic – obvious reference points include The Shins, The Pixies, Violent Femmes and Pavement. And for the first time, ‘Hello Love’ finds The Broken Family Band exploring a single unifying theme - one that has inspired songwriters throughout the ages.
