Echoing heroes of a bygone lonely boy era is no bad thing in our book, and the stoic craftsmanship of beautifully miserable lyrics, as featured in We’re Supposed To Be In Love, will transport you to a time when ruling indie boy artists ruled supreme.
As the third single to be taken from the band’s acclaimed self-titled debut, We’re Supposed To Be In Love is an almighty nod to the golden years of lovelorn moody ballads. The eponymous album is essentially a love letter to the artists and records that shaped Coughlan’s Bristol childhood, principally those by Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, The Smiths and Joe Meek; a theme which is prominent in this latest Crybaby offering.
A strong and heartfelt track dedicated to the woes of fateful relationships, We’re Supposed To Be In Love is sure to strike a chord with both young and old.
