The album darts from highlight-to-highlight, taking in a cocktail of ‘60s pop and punky punch on ‘the wonder of it all’, strutting and swaggering on ‘neon nights’, and channelling driving, anthemic rock like a trio of Scottish Springsteens on ‘woman of the year’.

At times, though, it represents an evolution for the band too, with the sweeping strings of ‘black mirror’ and the darker alt-pop production of ‘footprints in the sand’. Ultimately ‘Exorcism of Youth’ is where the view should be at this stage in their lives: still burning with the passion of youth, but with the confidence and control that comes from having been around the block and, in the process, learned from the experience.
