Feeder - Tallulah

Grant Nicholas and Taka Hirose’s 10th album features unfashionable guitar anthems with MOR flourishes

Newport duo Feeder might forever be known for a song named after a man displaced in time: Buck Rogers (on their sci-fi tinted anthem Echo Park), which reached the UK Top 5 in 2001. Eighteen years after that commercial peak, as the band mark their 25th anniversary with 10th album Tallulah, Grant Nicholas and Taka Hirose sound a little displaced themselves.
