Track three &#8216;Only Love&#8217; is an early favourite, with stabbing synths interwoven with rich almost disco vocals giving an instant dance anthem feel to the track. Other highlights include &#8216;Marseille Blues&#8217;, which has a very attractively high-toned stabby synth sound, that sits nicely on the ears.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Track 8, &#8216;Hearts Collide&#8217;, is perhaps the most different song on the album. While still maintaining the retro feel, it&#8217;s more like New Order or The Smiths than anything else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Title track &#8216;Frequency&#8217; starts off all scratches and white noise then quickly becomes an old skool rave track. It never fully allows itself to become a dance tune, and you get the same feeling as if you&#8217;re hearing a distant dance party; you catch particles of the track but aren&#8217;t able to grab hold of it completely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Final track, &#8216;Taken It All&#8217; is anthemic both sonically and lyrically, and swoops and soars around in an aural feast of multi-layered vocals and instrumentals. It&#8217;s a fitting close to the album, and leaves the listener wanting more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Frequency&#8217;, by The Tea Street Band, is out now through Modern Sky.
