Written by The Maccabees – Orlando Weeks, Hugo White, Felix White, Rupert Jarvis and Sam Doyle – “Marks To Prove It” features eleven magnificent tracks that veer from the anthemic “Spit It Out“, to the majestic next single “Something Like Happiness“, the mournful lilt of “Kamakura” and the raw, explosive joy of the title track, first single “Marks To Prove It.”
Produced by Hugo White, The Maccabees and Laurie Latham, “Marks To Prove It” is the work of a band in their prime. Drawing from their previous albums and experiences, the new songs are not just fuelled by a new found confidence, directness and power but also infused with emotion, highlighted by the addition of female vocals to bring the songs to new emotive heights.
Recorded at their own Elephant Studios, the album encapsulates the urban feel of their local neighborhood. The artwork, a striking photograph of the Faraday Memorial on Elephant & Castle roundabout taken by David Busfield, provides the perfect visual extension of the album’s intended association with the area in which it was made.
