Ha-ha I've seen the Maccabees live twice. Oh yeah, back in July last year, at Optimus Alive festival, and later in November at Atlantic Pavilion, when they did the first part for the Black Keys. That was the best I think because the first time I saw them, I was also waiting for Miles Kane to come from the backstage so I could have a photo with him ( Miles groupie, I know ), therefore I wasn't paying much attention to the concert. Oh and how could I forget the most important part: I met Felix ( White, guitar ) and Orlando ( Weeks, vocals and guitar ) during Radiohead's concert ( which I left because my friend was hungry and we met them ). But that's another story.
"Given To The Wild" is the Maccas third record and it's also my favourite. I really like their more "rock" sound of the first two albums, but this kinda glam-dream-rock they have evolved into. Besides those two members I met ( Fe and Lando ), the band also consists of two other White borthers, Hugo and Will (guitar and keyboards/synths ), bassist Rupert Jarvis and drummer Sam Doyle.
My favourite track of this album has to be "Unknow", I love the synths and guitars flowing there. But mostly, I love the vocals, both Orlando's and Caroline's, and the lyrics, such as "... unknow me / pour me away..." or "... just while love remembers ...".
I dunno what to say more, just to go and listen to them, and love them.
