    Play For Today FIERCE PANDA
    Epic pop and prog from the reformed five-piece
    Thirteen years between first and second album is lax by anyone’s standards but then Newcastle-born Ultrasound have never been your typical band. An art-school outfit in the Roxy Music mode and with unashamed neo-prog proclivities, they signed to Suede’s label during the post-Britpop feeding frenzy, released a minor classic and then split under pressure in 1999. Thankfully Play For Today picks up where debut Everything Picture left off - with the thunderous baroque n’ roll anthem of opener Welfare State. Epic and heartfelt are Ultrasound’s strengths and few do it better, whether on the snarling, swinging post-glam of Goodbye Baby, Amen or the emotive use of a colliery brass band on Between Two Rivers. “I’ve only ever written music for the future,” singer Andrew ‘Tiny’ Wood said recently. Perhaps Ultrasound’s time has finally come.
    8/10

lyrics

Hearing the call of the wild world
Winding its way
Through the cracks in the pavements
That we laid
All of the brambles that strangle
Trees taken hold
In visions of Eden overgrown

Crawling up through the gloaming
From primordial seas
Pompeii mosaics are found within reach

Nothing we’re building will last
No, nothing we’ve done will survive

The push of nostalgia
That yearning for home
The pull of the chorus
The ebb and the flow
All possible futures we’ll never know
It ends where it ends
It goes how it goes

History whispers like rust in the sun
So much confusion
So much left undone

Nothing etc

In cellophane circles see the plankton dance
Their dividing chances
Fine romances

I don’t want to have to be fit to survive
Wanking off on to those with a similar sex drive
So splurting they come into you
Stripped of their dignity, fucking in unison
We want a bacon roll
Birth control and cruise control
We want an easy life
No more struggle, no more striving, reaching…Nothing etc

Ultrasound London, UK

Ultrasound are an English indie rock band. With roots in the British underground psychedelic and experimental rock scenes of the 1980s and early 1990s, the band emerged in 1997 and soon gained attention for their "operatic prog-glam ambitions" and "violent reworking of the idiosyncratic compositions of Captain Beefheart and the staged ambisexual pop idioms of the likes of David Bowie ... more
