Since parting company with Parlophone/EMI, Idlewild have enjoyed a miraculous return to form. Clearly there was nothing wrong with the starry-eyed pop sensibilities of ‘You Held The World In Your Arms’, but it wasn’t the hairy, grizzled rock beast that we knew and loved. Luckily ‘A Ghost In The Arcade’ sees this beast freed from its cage, sounding more like ‘Roseability’ than ‘American English’, and it proves that Roddy Woomble and the boys still have some suitably rough-cut gems in their treasure chest. The real Idlewild have just stood up.
