Back with a bang are messrs Diggle and Shelley whose first album for eight years, The Way, has just been streamed online at Spotify. From it comes this vociferous romp, co-written by Pete Shelley and drummer Danny Farrant. It's the usual super-charged love-story gone wrong, spat with bitterness yet back-filled by harmonies and an underlying sense of melodic triumph. Not quite Everybody's Happy Nowadays etc but a mighty step in the right direction.
