Great UK-indie four-piece, The Cribs are back with a new single entitled We Were Aborted that preceedes the album coming out in September. After the first couple dancey indie hits, their sophomore record was brilliant in 2007. They are pretty cool live as well, I saw them the same year at Pukkelpop festival. Full of energy and from heartbreaking tunes to guitar tornadoes, they are capable of creating many-many sounds while keeping their integrity. With Johnny Marr of the legendary Smiths (the band I personally don’t like) joining them, they are destined for British success I guess. (They look funny with the old bro, check the pic.) On the musical side, We Were Aborted is a quite straightforward song and it is really a nice tune to raise an anticipation for the record. Determination and the power of desperation combined with cynical and humourous half-smiles as I perceive it. ‘Masturbation’ is one of the few words I could catch from the lyrics. Well, the guitars-whirlwind, punk vocals and heavy drumming carries it anyway. Follow the guys on Twitter so you get the updates!
