Mike And The Mechanics - Let Me Fly

Mechanics return with hopeful hearts and soaring sonics!

Mike + The Mechanics are Genesis founding member Mike Rutherford, Andrew Roachford, Tim Howar, Gary Wallis, Luke Juby and Anthony Drennan. Let Me Fly is the eighth studio album from the band and returns to the early Mechanics sound.

After a six-year hiatus, the songwriting zeal is just as strong in Mike Rutherford's antidote to life in Genesis, writes TeamRock.com, in its album review. The title track "Let Me Fly" is a soaring message of hope (‘If I don't try, I will never know') with a choir reminiscent of their hit "The Living Years." "Wonder" could be a Don Henley song, while "Are You Ready?" sounds like an updated Pet Shop Boys track with an 80s-flavored introduction from keyboardist Luke Juby.

Complete with joyously raspy vocals from Andrew Roachford and Tim Howar, the Mechanics have returned with an updated take on their '80s heyday.
