I Am Arrows - Sun Comes Up Again
The I Am Arrows project clearly has potential, but at 14 tracks, Sun Comes Up Again can feel like a trudge through the outback of mediocrity rather than an exciting exploration into new territory.»

i am arrows' debut is chock-full of tunes, and 'green grass' is the perfect introduction to a collection of songs that will light up summer 2010. beautiful pop songs that suggest seventies soul, modern 'beats and bleeps', and timeless melodies. heartfelt songs about love, doubt, confusion, romance and, here and there, the mercurial 'bromance' he had with his former bandmates. the songs are small but huge, warmly fuzzy but perfectly formed, instantly appealing and naggingly unforgettable. a skilled multi-instrumentalist - he played every instrument on the album - and an extraordinarily talented songwriter, in razorlight, burrows was an intrinsic part of the success of that band's multi-million selling eponymous second album before his departure in 2008. burrows made the album with producer eliot james (noah and the whale, bloc party) at eastcote studios in west london. after a long time (literally) taking a backseat, andy burrows and his songs are front and centre. ideas, for so long stoppered up, are flooding out of him. you can hear this - the relief, the fun, the ambition, the talent - in the songs bursting all over the album.
