...confections make you dance and wave your arms. Last year, though, the Go! Team could have played in one of London's narrow red phone booths and still had room to spare. Literally. Ian Parton - who performs like a one-man band on the Astoria's stage, playing guitar, keyboard, recorder, drums, melodica, harmonica and various percussion instruments - used to do everything solo. The former documentary filmmaker wrote, recorded, mixed samples and produced the band's Mercury Prize-nominated debut album, Thunder, Lightning, Strike. "I would just monkey around after work," explains 32-year-old Parton, nursing a pint...

My family should make a difference, but I am not able to spend enough time with them...
...previous albums were always listenable but rarely arresting or tense. On Plans, the hooks are everywhere. Someday You Will Be Loved starts like a standard ballad until an exaggerated bass line kicks up during the first verse and gentle chaos begins. Marching Bands of Manhattan builds from a single keyboard chord into something joyful enough to counter the repetitions of "your love is gonna drown."
