Mr Bones and The Dreamers

Euphoric and pensive in equal measure, 'Are these actual miles?' is, quite simply, superb. Lyrically it is compelling enough to keep you guessing (as in the contradictory sentiment of the opening line 'threw a stone up at your window, let it fall"), but the real thrill is in the delicate balance between the Birmingham septet's members, between the pounding drums and melancholic strings. There's no posturing soloing here, only the sort of music that makes life worth living.
