With Gordon Brown seemingly nodding-off in the House of Commons as “Budget 2009: Our Frangible Future” was announced, devoid of even a dribble of human emotion, back bone and - what could be argued - consciousness that is required of our chosen bellwether, it will come as a relief to know that we can find solace and empyrean escapism from our crippling realities in ‘Love You Better’. Delivered with a rousing complexity in composition and undulations of open-hearted expression, The Maccabees’ polyphonic declaration of modern romanticism marches to the unparalleled sound and sentiment of a British band that we can all seek sanctity in. 9/10
