Maybe it’s because I’m stuck in this internet vortex but I can’t for the life of me remember a time like now when so few good English bands were generating a lasting impression. So when I happen upon a notable group from that neck of the woods it is a lovely reminder of the halcyon days when we looked left rather than right for our kicks. Leeds’ Downtime are signed to the Ian Brown dissed Squirrel Records and released a short indie pop album sometime last year. It was blessed with precious nuggets at every turn, none more so than ‘Lessons’ with its slightly fuzzed but utterly dreamy outlook. The album ‘Knowing Too Much’ proves that there’s life in the old bulldog yet. KD
