With its cover presenting a tragic clown, and the not-so-subtle album title, there are plenty of hints as to the themes and tracks on the fourth album from Liverpudlian indie troupe Circa Waves. In reality it's not really a case of veering wildly between emotional extremes, the complete thing is far more balanced than that, but there's certainly a small spectrum of feelings presented here. At its most melancholic, or at least reflective, "The Things We Knew Last Night" offers up lamentations and a narrative of what should have been but perhaps never was, seen through a sparse, pared back acoustic anthem. "Hope There's A Heaven" ponders on similar subject matter - that which cannot be changed. At the other side of the package, at least in so far as atmosphere goes, the likes of "Call Your Name" play out like rousing calls to Merseyside action, local references abound, while "Train To Lime Street" is a late night instrumental ode to witching hour sleeplessness.
