From Australia to Jakarta, back to Australia only to then end up in Berlin. Yup, vocalist Ben King didn’t have to look far for a fitting band name. Although “In The Midst Of This” already came out back in 2007, it took Expatriate until now to give the whole thing a decent release in Europe.
So thank you PIAS for giving this album a second lease on life because I have to say that this is a pretty fine rock album that holds its own between The Killers, Editors and the hugely underrated The Sheila Divine. Not all of the songs are as strong as “Get Out, Give In” or “Gotta Get Home” but “In The Midst Of This” is definitely a worthy addition to any rock collection. Okay, so you’ve already heard their sound before, but it also happens to be one of those sounds you can never have enough of in your collection.
Score: 7 out of 10
