UK group Athlete did a bit of an about-face with this album, ditching their pop, mockeny style for more emotive lyrics and expansive sounds. If you like Coldplay, there's a good chance you'll like Athlete, but maybe not: They like large soundstages, but only up to a point; their lyrics are thoughtful but sometimes more close to home, and ultimately, they use a more personal singing style than Coldplay's detached one.
My favorite track so far is 'Wires'. Its quietly awesome. Lots of muted feeling, and a large sound palate (hints of electro) contrasts with up close and personal (subdued piano part) touches. The lyrics are pretty cool too. You'll think 'Coldplay originally, but after a few listens, you'll realize their something new, maybe better. Give it a listen.
