Album Review: Stereophonics - Keep The Village Alive

Intended as the second of a two-part release beginning with 2013's Graffiti On The Train, Keep The Village Alive doesn't deviate from Stereophonics' typical approach much at all, but to good effect.

Still incredibly safe radio-based rock pop, there's no denying Kelly Jones can pen a hell of a melody that locks itself in your head long term. Sunny, C'est La Vie and Sing Little Sister feature a refined sound from previous album tracks, leaving this record feeling much more cohesive and organic, making it in fact one of the better Stereophonics releases in recent memory.
