Athlete - Black Swan

2009 release, the fourth album from the successful London indie band, the follow-up to 2007's Beyond the Neighbourhood and their debut for the Fiction label. A poppier, more immediate album than anything they have ever done before, Black Swan comes from a desire for "getting the songs across as much as we could" and the band seem to have succeeded. A distinct '80's influence is also prevalent, with a heavy use of synthesizers. Includes the single 'Superhuman Touch'. Polydor.
