THE MIDDLE NAMESI Need SpaceReuban Records★★★★½

This solid debut throws you into the world of growing up - drinking, socialising, making mistakes. With the prominent lyrics you are in an almost rock opera setting about finding love, feeling jealous, taking flight, being knocked down, getting up again. It is all there. Noteworthy is the mark left by producer Magoo, who has polished the jaunty, oft anthemic collection to glide along with a big production smile on its dial. It almost started to sound samey before changing gears a couple of songs from the end - aside from making it really easy to listen to, you hear the band and their tracks in their Sunday best.
