"It’s only been a year or so since we heard from London’s Male Bonding, their debut album “Nothing Hurts” receiving all sorts of critical acclaim when it was released, although largly ignored from most people’s best-of-2010 lists.
The album was filled with some of the more catchy, punk-fueled ramshackle Lo-Fi Indie-Rock tones of last year that were overshadowed by the likes of Cloud Nothings, Harlem, and Jaill, but revisiting this album it’s still as hard-hitting as it was a year ago. Fast forward a year and they’ve already finished up the successor to “Nothing Hurts”, again coming out on Sub Pop titled “Endless Now” on August 29th/30th (U.K./U.S.), and as a wee teaser they dropped a brand new tune.
Apparently having binned the Lo-Fi sound present on their debut, the new album is cleaner and evidently more cohesive. Over time bands tend to grow tighter in sound as they play more and record more, and based on this first song you can really hear the difference. It’s a long one, clocking in at 6:26, and the more-polished sound is there too but so is the droning guitars and resonating vocals that are sure to populate the new album.
Having not known this was coming out and then hearing this new song, I’ve now gone from unexpected excitement at the prospect of hearing the new jam to unadulterated excitement for the entire album" (Vía: listenbeforeyoubuy.net)
