Spector‘s latest album, Here Come The Early Nights, set for release on Friday 24th November is a mature and introspective meditation on aging and legacy. Addressing the search for purpose and identity amidst urban chaos, the London-based band offers a poignant reflection that ensures their relevance transcends fleeting trends. Rather than risk being relegated to a trivia question in your local pub’s 2010s music quiz, Spector confidently assert their enduring significance in the British indie scene. 

The record opens with ‘The Notion’, containing frontman Fred Macpherson’s best lyric to date: “What happens after the afters?”. It prompts the listener to think about the transient nature of euphoric experiences and the emotional whiplash that accompanies the pursuit of mercurial highs. Conjuring images of youngsters spilling out onto pavements after a house party as the sun rises, it also invites a wry smile as you remember how good those parties seemed at the time – but how, in reality, you were cornered in someone you didn’t know’s kitchen by a tedious person whose jaw was in a different postcode. Nostalgia isn’t what it was, indeed.
