Constantines - Kensington Heights (Arts & Crafts)
Text: Phil Hebblethwaite
The last Constantines album was a glacial and great outdoorsy kind of rock'n'roll record.
A clue to this one: Kensington Heights is the name of their rehearsal space in Toronto. They've come down from the mountain, in other words, and written a more claustrophobic city album. But it's still euphoric and excellent.
They've got hard feelings this lot, and real heart. Bruce Springsteen should take them on tour.
