Ultrasound - Play for Today

2012 release from the British band. They said it would never happen. And by 'they' we mean the band, their friends and anyone who had ever worked with them. But somehow, against all odds and several wads, Ultrasound are back. Back with a fresh attitude. Back with a new keyboard player. Back with a second album a mere 13 (that's thirteen) years after colossal debut 'Everything Picture' rattled the gills of the album charts. You really couldn't make it up, but make up they have. This much we know: as the Twentieth Century wheezed to a close Ultrasound were in the process of spectacularly imploding. 1999 might have been the first year the known world heard of the likes of Doves, Coldplay, Elbow and Muse but for Ultrasound the race was already almost run, a journey which had seen them catapulted from the obscurity of a squat in West London to the front of the NME and a mega deal with Nude Records with scarcely a pause for breath.
