Four boys barely in their twenties, mastering the art of encapsulating the modern condition into hyper-habit-forming, gleaming pop nuggets. Follow-up to September’s Official Indie charter Pistols & Hearts, new single Loneliness pushes Captain Phoenix’s growing reputation to new levels. “British pastoral meets folk-blues. Burrows has one of those huge voices that has you tracking back through to pop history. Tracks such as the wonderful Loneliness are pointers to what should be a great future.” DAN CAIRNS – THE SUNDAY TIMES. “What truly captivates and inspires is the huge, gravelly voice that frontman-bassist Ben Burrows is blessed with.” LOSING TODAY. “A saucey bluesman who can relieve girls of their knickers with just one gravelly yelp.” LEONIE COOPER – NME.

Its a mess - these boys don't know whether they're Fleetwood Mac, Cream or Jeff Buckley's poptastic nephew. God love it.
