Two seconds into Blackened Blue Eyes, when Mark Collins' guitar punctuates the super groove of Tony Roger's piano, one thing is clear - the Charlatans U.K is a vital force. Then Tim Burgess' vocals come in, with a melody that's so beguiling it almost disguises the disturbing intensity at the heart of the song. It's great to have the band back with a record, Simpatico, that finds them better and fresher than ever, and ready to take on the world again. Simply put, it's a record that sees every member of the Charlatans U.K step up to the plate and give it everything.
