    This is the second track to be released by Breaks Co-Op after the success and airplay of ‘The Otherside’ (perhaps a lot to do with the Zane Lowe association). It's dreamy and acoustic and keeps close to their formula of soul, blues and folk. Andy Lovegrove’s vocals are wistful and romantic but  after a minute or so it might be a case of nodding off rather than nodding along. It is pleasant enough in a gentle sitting by a campfire with a guitar kind of way, but erring too much on the side of ‘dad rock’ for those with a more punk rock disposition.

    • A dull and dumber critique. A Place For You is an sumptuous and soulful ballad. Mellow? Yes. Beautiful? Yes. Dad rock? Erm.... The writer is clearly basing his review on an assumption of how a band with Zane Lowe in it should sound rather than how it does. Climb out of your box and open your ears you little punk rock man because you’re talking BOLLIX.
