Little Fish‘s debut album ‘Baffled and Beat’ was unquestionably brilliant, but there was a palpable feeling of tension running through it - it felt like a record born of adversity, which later turned out to be pretty much the case. The band have now started again from first principles with an indie label, and it shows; ‘Wonderful’ feels like a joyous release from the restraints of the past - it‘s intimate and warm, yet packs a sunburst chorus stomped out with a passion that makes your heart want to burst. Even though the lyrics suggest a hidden darkness, the translation is one of bruised defiance, of a desire to stand and fight rather than admit defeat. The uplifting combo of chiming guitars and breezy hammond organ fires you up so that the beautifully understated yet insistent rhythm can drive it headlong into your affections. Single of the month, and a superb sign of things to come.
