And no, nothing ever started with a kiss...

Sometimes you can't even get out of bed, but sometimes you release an amazing album after a five year long wait. Our very own AC reviews Spector’s spectacular comeback - read more here!

I nearly tripped over myself in frenetic joy earlier this summer when Spector suddenly re-emerged from the shadows with a brand new song. It was years ago that I fell in love with the synth loving indie rockers, lead by winsomely cocky frontman Fred Macpherson. I swooned to their alluringly smug stage charisma on the Popscene stage in San Francisco, too. The Londoners had fallen silent in recent years, and I had feared the worst. Were Spector gone forever? But no! They’re back, and they’ve now followed on return single I Won’t Wait with new track Half Life! Like I Won’t Wait, Half Life is lifted from a forthcoming EP due out in autumn on their own Moth Noise imprint. Half Life embraces Spector’s less urgent side with its rhythmic churning, swirly twirling, guitar braided euphony and its poignant lyrical work, all the while remaining as vibrant and vital as ever, like a trademark Spector carousel ride lit in flashing lights. And fortunately for us, Half Life doesn’t have a half life, it won’t ever decay to nothing. It’s a radioactive anthem, irradiating its way through our ears and grabbing steady hold of us in an irresistibly infectious manner. 

Fred Macpherson said: "Half Life is about the fear of missing out on your own life. The worry that you're losing touch with people, places, culture, no longer recognising yourself in the mirror, the constant tick of the clock in the background. It's about wondering how much time you have left. But we wanted the music to be upbeat and celebratory. There's nothing better than a group of people just losing it, all singing along to something a bit miserable. That's the life blood of the indie disco, handed down from generation to generation... Dancing with tears in your eyes" Spector has also announced a huge UK headline tour for October 2019, including a show at London’s Oval Space. Perhaps, after that’s all said and done, Spector might consider returning to California. I’ll be there, when they do. Grab the new tune, here.
