Is there anything more thrilling in music than a band at the height of their creative powers going at it at full pelt? Probably not or perhaps you just prefer the new U2 record. That dig was carefully aimed for a reason as ’88’ reminds me of them circa their debut (‘Things To Make And Do‘) when incendiary was all they knew. Return To Sender come from much further away and operate as a 3-piece. They’ve suffered a fair few slings and arrows along the way but these experiences seem to have manifested themselves positively in their glorious assaults of white noise. ’88’ is the opener from their latest album ‘The Grand Exposure’ and is an example of artful velocity put to music. As Mr. Vox might say, magnificent. KD
