Album Review: Vessels - The Great Distraction

God bless the recent career revival of Vessels, a mostly instrumental UK quintet who are clearly far too gifted to drift down the plughole of history.

While The Flaming Lips adorn the single Deflect The Light, irresistible pressure-builder Mobilise is just as good, as again Vessels prove to be masters of the slowly administered adrenaline shot. Intrepid sonic explorers, Vessels' journeys in sound stretch to new heights on Radiart and level off on high plateaus such as Glower and Radio Decay. If this doesn't precipitate bigger things, nothing will.
