I’ve come to a realisation in recent weeks: I’d never caught it before, but the newer songs that appeared on General Fiasco’s Buildings back in 2010 showed that the band were already moving away from where they’d started. It is now almost two years since that album was released, and where do the quartet find themselves now? Well, they could have the best power-pop album of the year on their hands – oh, and speaking of hands, check out the artwork for their new single! It’s certainly striking, colourful too – much like the song itself. Don’t You Ever finds the band continuing to outdo themselves. It’s no stretch to call it the best thing they’ve ever committed to tape, in fact. Its up-tempo feel masks typically reflective and sometimes downbeat lyrics: ‘The worst is on its way … I can feel the darkness creeping in on me.’ Featuring some eyebrow-raising drumming and a blistering guitar solo as its climax, the song acts as a primer for their as-yet-untitled second album, which has been confirmed as being due in the summer. It seems as though, for this band, what’s past is prologue; their newer material is leaps and bounds ahead of what came before, but it sounds like the best is still yet to come. Bring it on.
