The Maccabees deliver a stunning record crammed full of sparkling indie pop that bites deep and just won't let go. There's something deliciously dreamy about Colour It In. It has a poppy edge, but there's nothing contrived about it.

The band say they don't have any control over their music, that the songs just come out that way. "It's not like we've been playing our instruments for ten years," says Orlando. "Any naiveté is genuine." What The Maccabees want most of all is to make people feel special. "We get kids at the front of our gigs and they look at us the way I used to look at bands," says Felix. "You can just see it in their eyes. It means something to them. And that means something to us."
