About this item

They achieved the kind of success that they could have only dreamed of: four UK Top 10 hits, all of which were definitive '80s classics - 'Love Plus One', 'Fantastic Day', 'Favourite Shirts (Boys Meets Girl)' and 'Nobody's Fool' - followed by a debut album, 'Pelican West', which peaked at #2 during an eleven week run in the Top 10, in the process reaching Platinum status.

That was 42 years ago. 

Finally, they return with Boxing The Compass. It feels like the follow-up nobody expected but everyone wanted. The funk is still there, with tracks like Someone and Vanishing Point sitting comfortably alongside the band’s classic sound. So are the jangly guitars, brassy hooks and effortless melodies that made them such a joy in the first place. Best of all, Nick Heyward’s voice sounds remarkably untouched by time. Warm, uplifting and packed with charm, Boxing The Compass strikes a lovely balance between nostalgia and fresh energy without ever sounding like a band living in the past.
