This is the second track from the forthcoming Man of Moon LP ‘Dark Seas’, after ‘Strangers’ which was released back in July.
‘When We Were Young’ is a crackling track which starts a bit post-rock, then takes on a life of its own with a power-chord change which recalls the Manics if anything…
The lyrics recall past derrings and doings and are a bit wistful, before the chorus kicks in with a definite nod to Oasis, before pummelling back into motornik tropes and a massive wig-out towards the end…
There may be only two of them but they sure make some racket, and by the sound of this, the album will be something to look forwards to… and let’s hope these live dates next year do come off, because BM has seen MoM a couple of times live and my goodness they rock!
