Basically, it's the Killers. And not the cool, camp, "Hot Fuss" Killers or the startling and bleak current Killers but the middle of their career, middle of the road Killers.

Much more consistent than his last outing, Crumbling Empire is an early SOTY contender for me.

People Watching reaffirms that Sam Fender is not only UK's distinguished heartland rocker but also a young lad who is exceptionally gifted with words. Sam is the voice of his generation with a tendency to write lyrics with a birds-eye view detachment. This, in combination with the talent for crafting songs that cut straight to the core of human experience, makes the Geordie Springsteen an artist who cannot be overlooked. Co-produced by fellow Springsteen aficionado Adam Granduciel (The War on Drugs), People Watching captures Fender's perchant for the working-class life in the UK in a halestorm of roaring, emotive and arena-friendly choruses. Similar to Seventeen Going Under, he opens the album with an irresistible, fast-paced anthem with joyous horns and frustratingly literal lyrics which sets the tone for a restless journey. In this latest escapade, Fender explores life?s ugliness and finds excellence. With sharp and cruel storytelling, his sound continues to evolve while remaining true to his roots. An artist who is not afraid to watch, listen, and translate life into songs of uncompromised brutal honesty. Tony recommends: "People are Watching", "Arm's Length", "Something Heavy", "Chin Up", "Little Bit Closer".r

Once you know Granduciel (from War on Drugs) produced this, you'd know what to expect: anthemic heartland rock that gets the best out of the 80s Springsteen canon, ie a big fucking sound and earnest lyrics carried by belter performances.
