Track Of The Day: Ocean Colour Scene - Be With You

After five years with no new material, British mod heroes Ocean Colour Scene have returned with a self-titled EP containing four brand new songs. Produced by Steve Cradock at his Kundalini Studios in South Devon, the self-titled EP is a welcome return. While the Blair-baiting opener and lead track 'Another Bard May Chant' is the sound of a band turning the ignition on again and warming up the engine, the wonderful 'Be With You' is where they get off the ground and take flight. A stunning, flamenco-tinged love song that presents Fowler's gift for charming, humble melodies and heartfelt delivery, it's the EP's most alluring offering.

I don't care what their critics say, Ocean Colour Scene have always been good at what they do. The new EP (reviewed in full HERE) is very much a little gift for those who want to hear new OCS material, and serves its purpose satisfyingly enough while the faithful await another album. Good to have them back.
