Gregson and Collister successfully raised their ambitions and widened their stylistic reach on A Change In The Weather, an even better collection of songs and settings
Joining their voices in more intricate harmonies and testing out more complex material, the duo soars through poignant essays on wife abuse ('This Is The Deal'), mortality ('How Weak I Am'), the hollowness of pop stars and culture ('Jumped Up Madam' and the CD-bonus 'Temporary Sincerity') and overdriven children ('Talent Will Out')
On a lighter note, Gregson reveals an abiding enthusiasm for Elvis Presley with the witty and personal '(Don't Step In) My Blue Suede Shoes', to which Collister adds a rocking rendition of the King's own 'Tryin' To Get To You' A tremendous record without one mediocre or ineffectual track
