Claude says:Athlete's second album caught you right around the time they were stretching beyond their debut's lean indie-rock template into something glossier and more synth-touched, and you've kept coming back to it for nearly two decades—Hurricane and Tokyo especially, those tracks that balance their gift for britpop-inflected melody with a more ambitious production. There's something about the way Beyond The Neighbourhood sits between their earlier rawness and the slicker territory they'd explore later that keeps it in regular rotation.
