Farnham four-piece Canterbury finally return with second album 'Heavy In The Day', three years since well received 'Thank You' graced our ears. The release of several of the album tracks as previous singles and EPs does nothing to dampen the excitement of 'Heavy In The Day', as the band continue to release records completely independently, and 'Thank You' producer Peter Miles returns.
Introduction title track 'Heavy In The Day' is a slow disappointing start from the normally upbeat band, but things change around immediately with 'Something Better' which delivers as one of the best songs the band has written.
Brand new single 'Saviour' has Radio 1 written all over it, and is sure to give Canterbury more media attention than ever before, whereas tracks 'Wrapped In Rainbows' and 'She's a Flame' go down as unmemorable filler tracks.
Crowd favourites 'More Than Know', 'Calm Down', and 'Ready Yet?' provide the rest of the stand out tunes from the albums, possibly pushing Canterbury into the forefront of the Indie Rock scene.
So, a mixed bag of an album for Canterbury this time around, but when it's good, it's damn good. It can only improve the selection of live tracks for them to choose from, and could see bigger and better things coming for the band.
7/10
Catch Canterbury on tour, now!
