The Drink are back with an amazing sophomore album released just 11 months after their critically acclaimed debut. Playing things safe has never been The Drink's philosophy. Throug hout the trio's evolution, their gloriously off-kilter guitar pop melodies and lyrical curiosities have commanded attention - and on brand new album 'Capital', they're pushing the boundaries even further, eschewing meticulous planning in favour of instinct across even more wondrously intriguing tracks. Take the disco-infused 'You Won't Come Back At All', born from a night out dancing in Whitechapel, whilst lead track 'The Coming Rain' is the result of years spent listening to Kenyan Ayub Ogada. Elsewhere the nervy blues guitar sound of 'Hair Trigger' and 'Like A River' are driven by what Dearbhla calls a 'got-to-catch-my-train feel'. 'Capital' is a massive leap forward in sound, song and intrigue. Think a mix of Life Without Buildings or a choir girl fronting the Dirty Projectors.
