The world would seem to be Haven's oyster right now. Ever since Travis went interstellar in 1999, it seems that every year throws up another set of understated melodic bands, complete with soaring guitars and heart-rendering lyrics about unrequited love. It was Coldplay in 2000, Elbow and Turin Brakes appeared last year, and now, just one month into the new year, along come Haven. Haven are from Cornwall, but to all intents and purposes, they may as well be honorary Mancunians. Managed by Joe Moss, who used to manage The Smiths and Marion, and produced by Johnny Marr, they certainly have some pedigree talent working with them. And there's a welcome darker edge to this album that suggests that Haven may well be more than the 'earnest young men with guitars' label suggests. If you're looking for a rest from the seemingly constant diet of Pop Idols, wannabe gangster garage and nu-metal, this could well be your perfect Haven.
