Apr 11, 2016With one less guitarist, bass lines lie exposed more often than before; the riffs that should sheath them are scorched, ripped, patched. Even without reading into the lyrics, songs like 'Running All Over the Wicket' stab with enough Melvins-ish menace to draw blood. And where other albums offered some reprieve from the violence (like 'City of Exploded Children' or 'French Lessons'), there’s no rest in sight here.

Apr 8, 2016Yhis is a band tight enough and confident enough to know they can take anything, and anybody, on.
-
Apr 8, 2016As ever, the potent gallows humour of The Peace And Truce... derives not from flaneur-ish observation, but from direct experience.

Apr 20, 2016The Peace & Truce of Future of the Left is one of their most roaring dissents against the increasingly frustrating state of the world in the 2010s. Of course, this band is angry even when it isn't fashionable, but even so, this is some of their most cathartic music in a while.

Apr 22, 2016The lyrics are--as ever--a highlight.
-
Apr 8, 2016Falkous and his mates also keep the musicality lean, groovy, and (mostly) accessible throughout Peace & Truce.
-
May 13, 2016This album finds them surrounded by squelching basslines, scattershott guitars and pop-eyed vocals, and it's brilliant.
