THE CHARLATANS - TELLIN STORIES

The Charlatans have kept going as long as they have partly due to their adaptability. Since the early ’90s they’ve followed their instincts and incrementally evolved record by record, whether doing so put them in or out of sync with the pop moment. Their eponymous fourth album was the point where everything fully clicked, and it remains a benchmark for the band.

'The Charlatans' is one of those records that naturally fits together piece by piece, as if there was no other shape it could have taken. It would also turn out to be the last complete picture of the band’s classic line-up, as keyboardist and rogue heart of The Charlatans’ sound, Rob Collins, would be tragically lost in a car accident in the midst of recording their next and biggest selling album,'Tellin’ Stories'. Inadvertently then, 'The Charlatans' captures both a band and an era in its fertile prime, seizing the day with enduring style. (Under the Radar)
