Black Country, New Road - Ants from Up There (Album 2022)

I'm now including the odd album review - not everything but anything I think is worth talking about. This second release from the British indie band, in an era where British indie guitar music has risen out of nowhere. Even among the slew of great releases from likes of Squid, Black Midi, Dry Cleaning and Working Mens Club, this album stands tall. Like its totemic biggest inspiration, Arcade Fire's Funeral, it ranks as one of the finest indie or alt-rock albums this century.
