Their previous releases have drawn comparisons with artists such as The Cure, The Smiths and The Chameleons while carving out a sound that remains unmistakably their own.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith their sixth studio album Gilding the Lily, the band continues the evolution that has made them one of the UK’s most respected alternative acts, far from taking their foot off the presidential gas, it catches Desperate Journalist in caustically creative mode, pushing on with their fizzing formula of powering guitar and glowering words, as you may expect from a band whose feverish credibility has led to a (sub)stack of adoring press and a litany of shows with the likes of Suede, The Chameleons, Wedding Present and Slow Readers Club, as well as panda labelmates Ash and Rialto. Fronted by the unmistakable voice of Jo Bevan, powered by Rob Hardy’s instantly recognisable guitar work and the tightly locked rhythm section made up of Simon Drowner and Caz Helbert the album showcases the confidence and maturity of a band operating at the height of their creative powers.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for looking at our listing, below are a few points to consider before making a purchase:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- All records we sell are Brand New - pre-orders will normally come sealed but if you are purchasing in stock items, please note the copy may have been unsealed for display in the shop.
