Hideaway

For some reason, Delays always sound a lot better when the sun comes out so Hideaway couldn’t have arrived at a better time. The apparent electro direction of ‘Valentine’ has been ditched for a return to the guitars, yet this is still as bright and shiny as a new pin. In many ways it is the kind of both song and record that you might hear from one of the manufactured pop brigade – but that is by no means a criticism.
