“Forever On” opened with a definitive Draytones track, the exuberantly confident “Keep Loving Me” - vintage beat group harmonies evoke the glory days of the Cryin Shames & the Knickerbockers’ “Lies”, and throwing in some of the most searing backwards guitar since “Revolver” too. “Out of this World” is a Muswell Hillbilly-like reflection on life’s oddities, & one of several tracks to display some of Gabriel’s jazz licks. Tracks like “Time”, “4 Years” & “Not Alone” show again how there’s more to the group than just rocking out - its worth listening closer to appreciate the range of textures & harmonies, delicate string flourishes (as at the end of “Time”). The set closes with “Trafalgar Square”, a beautifully woozy jazzy evocation of a hot day in the city, “waiting for the 24 bus” - you can almost feel the trampled free newspaper beneath your feet & smell the hot dog stand. All in all, a brave & positive first set & well-received all around. Forever On was released in 26th of May 2007
