A couple of early Capital reviews:
The turbo-charged ‘A-Z’ is as grandiose as The Killers, the suave ‘This Gun’ and the punky ‘King Of England’ spit hummable fire, while closer ‘4am’ elegantly distils everything that has already passed.
John Aizlewood - Q Magazine (4 stars)
Immeasurably denser and harsher than 2005’s inch perfect 9 Red Songs but none the worse for that. Richly layered both musically and lyrically, the songs spin between vitriolic anger, witty self deprecation and arch political condemnation. Like Kerouac and Wylie, Chris T-T understands what is subversive about love aand knows that God is in the detail of everyday life. We should cherish such poets of 21st century urbanity.
Alistair Fitchett - Plan B
Chris has also posted his artwork for Capital on his blog. He seems to have made graff pics of London icons on a white wall. Nice.
