Athlete - Tourist
Athlete caused a stir with its debut album, 2003’s Vehicles & Animals. While the album enjoyed commercial success and won a Mercury Prize nomination, reviews ranged from raves to one review that dismissed the South London quartet’s music as “dolefully drippy piss.” Alas, on their latest, the members of Athlete show themselves to be just that—lightweight Coldplay wannabes—on songs like the dreary “Chances” and the mournful “Wires.” And there’s nothing drippier than sensitive pop without the emotional payoff.
