The first instalment in what promises to be a four album conceptual series exploring the perception of time and how its passing shapes us, Colder Suns’ sophomore album Yesterday Is All I Want is a record that finds the past and present colliding, and in cataclysmic fashion. With a strong focus on harmony and melody, along with a love of feedback, Colder Suns have produced an album that’s an intriguing tension of opposites and, like stepping into a hall of mirrors, shines it’s light in all directions.

Let’s face it; with the advent of the internet and rapid communication the pace of life is undoubtedly speeding up. It’s a busy world out there where fortunes are made on the tick of a clock and lost on the rolling of dice, therefore it’s no surprise that Colder Suns come racing out the blocks with the amphetamine-fuelled (and aptly-titled) ‘Heart Attack Ready To Go’. It’s the perfect mission statement and immediately snares the listener with a razor sharp riff and holds them there over three-and-a-half frantic minutes. Imagine putting your fingers in a plug socket and every hair in your body standing on end, that’s the kind of effect ‘Heart Attack Ready To Go’ (and, indeed, the whole album) has. Hopped up on caffeine and with amps cranked to the max, Colder Suns fire a warning shot that will reverberate throughout this nine track album.

Spiky, angular, but liberally infused with melody, Yesterday Is All I Want is an album for everyone who grew up on a diet of raucous rock n’ roll, in an age where the hum of a warm amplifier and the sound of sweaty fingers on strings were things to be celebrated. With their love of retro equipment and the whole analogue experience (the album was created at Francis Rossi’s studio and caught on tape by Quo producer Andy Brook) that’s definitely the aesthetic Colder Suns’ second album captures. The production sounds like that which would furnish a release by The Jam or early the Clash, it has the same kind of kick and is delivered with a similar snarl, yet you’d categorise Colder Suns a retro act at your peril. There’s an energy permeating tracks such as ‘Shaking Trees’ that places them firmly in the present and they swirl around the listener like a tornado. A love of original kit means these songs sound at once modern and antiquated (like that Francis Ford Coppola film Rumble Fish), and gives Colder Suns a unique edge. It’s an approach best exemplified by the eponymously-titled closer, an emotive, epic track that pulls all of the album’s various strands into a cohesive whole, instilling a sadness in the listener that the album is coming to an end, but will also have them salivating in anticipation of the next instalment.

The songs of Colder Sons aren’t things you passively receive, rather they are things you engage with and it is from here that the album roots itself in the present and derives its contemporariness. It means that Yesterday Is All I Want isn’t just an album for our times, but for all times.
