Living in Canada, I was victim to a lot of musical runoff from the UK. In many situations this was great, but occasionally I was exposed to utter bollocks. For some reason or another, I never remember taking the time to check out The Charlatans UK. I can say this though, after roughly 17 years as a band you’d think they’d run out of great tunes (presuming they had great tunes). The new single from the upcoming Simpatico album, “Blackened Blue Eyes,” is amazing!
