The Electric Soft Parade are masters of reinvention.Electric Soft Parade root themselves as firmly in the latter category.Everyone loved it: the past and the future collided on one record, all the boxes were gloriously ticked, and the accolades (Q best new band award, Mercury Music Prize nomination) came rolling in.It was a further slice of futuristic rock, but this time recorded in analogue.White Brothers are in further ascent, but this time in a different mode and solely on their own terms.Working with friends at Truck Records and fellow colleagues in the US at Better Looking Records, the music is rolling.BLR) released, and the critics loved it, but it was just a taster.Abbey Road, but with an absolute minimum of money and resources.The world is still their oyster.Amy
