The Rubens have gone big and bombastic on their latest single – too big, I think. This overblown chorus of strings, bells and pompous thrums of guitar gives the spunky fraternal collective the feel of a British X Factor graduate; a post-Robbie Williams big band pop aesthetic without the smirking edge. Makes me want to track them down and rub a little dirt in their faces.
