Our Take

Ah, Catholic Action, the band that sounds like they've spent a little too much time in the confessional booth with a guitar and a tambourine. "Celebrated By Strangers" is their latest offering, a mishmash of indie rock and glam pop that will have you toe-tapping and head-bopping in no time.

Frontman Chris McCrory's vocals are as smooth as butter, gliding effortlessly over the infectious melodies and catchy hooks that litter the album. The band's sound is reminiscent of early 2000s indie acts like Franz Ferdinand and The Strokes, with a dash of Bowie-esque flamboyance thrown in for good measure.

Tracks like "Another Name for Loneliness" and "Yr Old Dad" are standouts, showcasing the band's ability to craft irresistibly catchy tunes that stick in your head long after the album has ended. The production is crisp and clean, allowing each instrument to shine through without overpowering the vocals.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Celebrated By Strangers." The band occasionally veers into self-indulgent territory, with meandering guitar solos and over-the-top production detracting from the overall cohesiveness of the album. However, these missteps are few and far between, and ultimately don't detract from the overall enjoyment of the record.

In conclusion, Catholic Action have crafted a fun and quirky album that will appeal to fans of indie rock and glam pop alike. "Celebrated By Strangers" is a solid effort from a band that shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
