The Maccabees - Precious Time (Polydor)
3/5
By: Matt Tomiak
Built around that rickety post-Libertines guitar jangle that seems to be de rigeur for all aspiring British indie bands these days, 'Precious Time' is, in essence, 'Don't Look Back Into The Sun' with added Maximo Park style lyrical sensitivity.
'We'll need heart and we'll need courage in these times' avows singer Orlando Weeks, whose curiously theatrical vocal intonation is reminiscent of both XTC's Andy Patridge and The Wedding Present's David Gedge. So even if they're not the most innovative bunch, The Maccabees do at least take their inspiration from the finest sources.
