Dopo qualche anno di gavetta dal vivo e tanti apprezzamenti dagli addetti ai lavori per l'Ep d'esordio,esce finalmente il primo album "Chasing After Ghosts" dei The Crookes.La band indie-rock di Sheffield preferisce le sonorità retrò degli anni '50 e '60,ma se ascolti la voce imbronciata di George Waite non puoi non pensare a Morrissey.Non ci sono particolari innovazioni nelle 11 tracce del cd ma la qualità di tessere trame melodiche piacevoli,li colloca già in prima linea tra le rivelazioni dell'anno.Ascoltiamo il singolo piu' recente "Chorus Of Fools",dall'immediato effetto rinfrescante.

TESTO
Watch those fools run, watch those fools run
they tear apart their ragged hearts
Watch those fools run, watch those fools run
they tear apart their ragged hearts
We said we would keep our heads today
We said we would keep our heads today
It was by far and away
The coldest thing that you could ever say
We danced there under the street lights
It was clear that you, you and me
Were fated to be so damn blue
How their blood runs, how their blood runs
cold into the night
Now this darkened street's a sight
How their blood runs, how their blood runs
cold into the night
Now this darkened street's a sight
We said we would keep our heads today
We said we would keep our heads today
It was by far and away
The coldest thing that you could ever say
We danced there under the street lights
It was clear that you, you and me
Were fated to be so damn blue
But we're still young
Let us fall asleep together in the sun
And there's still time
Let us raise our glasses and drain out cheap wine
We danced there under the street lights
It was clear that you, you and me
Were fated to be so damn blue
