22 Grand Job, In The City.... Are Quite Hard To Come By At The Moment Actually

The Rakes are back. B.A.C.K. BACK. And I couldn't be happier.
They're totally overlooked and grouped into that 2005 swell of skinny guitar bands that have now disappeared on to XFM's XList show. But not for me. Their debut album, and over time the follow up too (apart from that rapping one about terrorists), remain stone cold favourites.
They've a new song which, merrily, sounds just like The Rakes.
Here's a teaser vid.

Oh Alan Rake. We had a great conversation once at a festival in rural France at 3 in the morning about how stupid my surname was. I cling to those memories.
