Between Dog And Wolf

AttAck AttAck, 2013

NMA undeniably made their best – and most popular – albums in the 80s and early 90s. But the new millennium seemed to usher in a creative slump.

After a run of holding-pattern albums in the noughties, they rediscovered their fire with Between Dog And Wolf. According to Sullivan, this was partly down to new bassist Ceri Monger, who injected some youthful enthusiasm into the band. But it’s down to the songs too – simultaneously expansive and intimate, this is the sound of a band redrawing their own boundaries after 30 years.
