For those who care about such things, 2022 is the 10th anniversary of the debut EP (Battles) by brothers Harry and Alfie Hudson-Taylor. There was a time when the handsome pair were painted with the “cute boyband” brush (we recall seeing them years ago at an open air festival where they were set upon by an adoring mob of female fans), but it was clear that looks were deceiving – the brothers were intent on writing material reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel and Crosby, Stills & Nash, songs that didn’t have the smash-hits appeal of One Direction or similar.

Like so many music acts, of course, the past 24 months have been a challenge in different ways, and you have to feel for the brothers when you consider their second studio album (the inopportunely titled Loving Everywhere I Go) was released at the end of February 2020. Cue many months of going nowhere, which may indicate why the new album is so titled and why there is such a comforting blanket of mournfulness covering the songs. Certainly, across folksy tunes such as Golden and You Decide, the sugar-rush pop of You Me Myself, and the soul/gospel swoon of Honest (featuring a co-vocal by Gabrielle Aplin), there aren’t many poptastic moments. There is, however, a clear sense of identity and creative growth, so maybe some answers have already been found.
