Our Take

The Charlatans have always been masters of blending indie rock with a touch of Madchester swagger, and their latest album, "The Limit Of The Marvelous," is no exception. With catchy hooks, infectious melodies, and a healthy dose of groove, this album is a solid addition to the band's already impressive discography.

From the opening track, "Talking in Tones," it's clear that The Charlatans haven't lost their touch. The song is a perfect example of their ability to blend jangly guitars and pulsating rhythms with Tim Burgess' distinctive vocals. It's a formula that works well throughout the album, with tracks like "So Oh" and "I Need You To Know" keeping the energy levels high.

Standout moments on the album include the dreamy "Come Home Baby," which sees Burgess at his most vulnerable, and the anthemic "In the Tall Grass," which is sure to be a live favourite. Meanwhile, tracks like "Emilie" and "Let the Good Times Be Never Ending" showcase the band's ability to write songs that are both emotionally resonant and dance floor-ready.

Overall, "The Limit Of The Marvelous" is a solid offering from The Charlatans. While it may not be groundbreaking, it's a reminder of why this band has endured for over three decades. So put on your dancing shoes, grab a pint, and let The Charlatans take you on a musical journey that's equal parts nostalgic and fresh. Cheers to that!

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.
