saw them support Elbow at Cardiff i think last year, maybe 2011. Guy Garvey came on stage and said " it's not often you have the privilege of witnessing history in the making " blew me and the missus away, very powerful set so we bought the album ( becoming a jackal ) on the way out. bit disappointing, sounded a bit tame after the live experience but grew on us after a while. not heard the new one yet. recommend them live,for sure.
