Tourist
[ CD ]

Ah, Athlete - the classic British indie band that always seems to be just on the cusp of greatness. Their latest album, "Tourist," is a mixed bag of catchy tunes and forgettable tracks, like a box of chocolates where you never quite know what you're going to get. The album kicks off with the infectious "Chances," a track that will have you tapping your foot and nodding along in no time. However, things take a bit of a nosedive with the lacklustre "Wires," which feels like a poor man's Coldplay B-side. But fear not, dear listener, for Athlete redeem themselves with the dreamy, atmospheric "Half Light," a song that perfectly captures that feeling of driving down an empty motorway at dusk. It's the kind of track that makes you want to roll down the windows and let the wind whip through your hair. Overall, "Tourist" is a solid effort from Athlete, with moments of brilliance scattered throughout. It may not be a groundbreaking masterpiece, but it's definitely worth a listen for fans of the band. So grab a cup of tea, put on your headphones, and let Athlete take you on a musical journey through the British countryside. Cheers!
