Album Review: Dead Letter Circus - The Endless Mile

Reworking heavy material into something a bit softer is an itch a lot of bands feel the need to scratch, and Brisbane lads Dead Letter Circus haven't denied themselves that pleasure.

The Endless Mile takes tracks from more than a decade's worth of EPs and albums and tweaks their progressive bent into some unusual territory. The fast and furious pace of The Mile, The Space On The Wall and Lines transitions well into toe tappers instead of head boppers, but the reimaginings don't always fly - Disconnect And Apply and Are We Closer flirt with the addition of keys like a drunk Liberace, turning Here We Divide into some kind of calypso-funk beast.
