A group in a state of transition; once a solo craft penned by lead vocalist Hugo Manuel in bedrooms and backrooms when possible, now very much becoming a more habitual ‘band’. Earlier material directs Jonquil away from conventions and trends, instead they have found comfort in their own ways. This year, however, is very much a renaissance - the songs which have been road tested to date conjure a carnival of celebratory whirr, rousing and uplifting, all the while remaining unostentatiously affirming. Best cut to the transcription, as I’m running short of superlatives.
