Our Take

The Charlatans have returned with their latest album, Playing In The Hall, and let me tell you, this is not just music - this is a spiritual experience. From the moment the first note hits your ears, you are transported to a place where time stands still and all you can do is let the music wash over you like a warm bath.

The band's signature blend of Britpop, alternative rock, and a sprinkle of psychedelia is on full display here, with frontman Tim Burgess' soulful vocals leading the charge. The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "Lost In The Post" which sets the tone for what's to come - catchy hooks, irresistible melodies, and lyrics that will make you ponder the meaning of life.

Tracks like "Chasing Rainbows" and "Just When You're Thinkin' Things Over" showcase the band's ability to craft songs that are both introspective and uplifting, while still maintaining a sense of cool detachment. The instrumentation is top-notch, with jangly guitars, swirling keyboards, and a tight rhythm section that keeps the energy levels high throughout.

Playing In The Hall is a testament to The Charlatans' enduring appeal and their ability to stay true to their unique sound while still pushing boundaries. So grab a cup of tea, put on your best dancing shoes, and let The Charlatans take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on this musical masterpiece.

The Charlatans

CHARLATANS are the irresistible, offbeat indie rock band hailing from the vibrant music scene of Manchester, England. With their unique blend of psychedelic pop, jangly guitars, and cheeky lyrics, this quintet has been delighting fans for over three decades. Frontman Tim Burgess is the charismatic voice behind the band, his distinctive vocals adding a touch of whimsy to their infectious tunes. The chemistry between Burgess and his bandmates is undeniable, with Mark Collins' shimmering guitar licks, Martin Blunt's groovy basslines, Tony Rogers' dreamy keyboards, and the steady beat of Jon Brookes (RIP) on drums coming together to create a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. Their debut album, "Some Friendly," catapulted CHARLATANS into the spotlight in 1990, with hits like "The Only One I Know" and "Then" becoming instant classics. Since then, they have released an impressive discography of over a dozen studio albums, each one showcasing their evolution as musicians while staying true to their distinctive sound. CHARLATANS' live shows are a high-energy affair, with Burgess' charismatic stage presence and the band's tight musicianship captivating audiences worldwide. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to their music, seeing CHARLATANS perform is an experience not to be missed. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to groove to the infectious melodies of this enduring British band.
