I think I'm in love with Tim Burgess 😳

The new singles have been quite good. I prefer Deeper and Deeper to the title track though :) Lets hope the new album is as good as the previous one, I liked it. Dev Hynes as Producer is quite the choice.

The first five albums are brilliant! But everything after Tellin' Stories is meh....

Last.fm user · lastfm

I only know 8 of their albums, but I find that 'You Crossed My Path' is one of my favorites, along with the first 2.
