Air Traffic - 'Never Even Told Me Her Name' (EMI) Released 30/10/06

The fact that 'Never Even Told Me Her Name' sounds like a record that could have come out at any time in the last ten years, and yet manages to be a piece of pure delightfulness only confirms what Zane Lowe was telling us when he made the Bournemouth quartets debut his 'hottest record in the world right now'. Praise indeed, and although that was asking a lot from a band barely out of the practice room, for the two and a bit minutes of piano led, Supergrass couldn't do it better mod-Britpop that is 'Never Even..' you hope they can get past the colossal expectations of people looking for the 'next Arctic Monkeys' and create more moments like this. Be warned, you'll dance from start to finish.
