A Hyperactive Workout for the Flying Squad

Ocean Colour Scene

Soulful, organ-heavy rock that trades Britpop's youthful swagger for a warmer, more reflective brand of sixties-inspired craftsmanship.

It's like a lost 60s soul-rock record found in a dusty Birmingham attic.

A soulful and mature reflection on life, delivered with warm analog textures and a persistent sense of hope.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive, wah-drenched guitar solo on track 3 that channels pure late-sixties psychedelia.

The transition from the sparse, cold verses to the soaring, optimistic chorus of the opening track.

The way the Hammond organ swells to fill the stereo field during the bridge of Move Things Over.
