ALBUM: Low Level Flight, Through These Walls

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Low Level Flight, who have flown fairly under the radar since the release of their debut album ‘Urgency’ in 2007, so it’s fair to say that big things were expected from their eagerly anticipated sophomore album. Already armed with two top 40 singles and an ever-growing base of admirers, Low Level Flight’s next helping, ‘Through These Walls’, looks set to add more fans to their collection, with catchy indie-pop melodies that ooze with sass and confidence.

‘Cash Machine’ is the perfect opening and defines the fun and quirky tone of the whole album, and don’t be surprised if instant sing-a-longs ‘Exit’ (which is available to download for free on the band’s website – result!) and ‘Tsk Tsk’ are on repeat all day.

Okay, maybe it’s not quite the breakthrough masterpiece we’d hoped for, but Low Level Flight have definitely set the bar high for their next serving. At times it’s is a bit generic, and sure, a few of the songs sound a little like they’ve been thrown in just to pad the album out a bit, but the good tracks undeniably make up for the mediocre.
