'Wall Of Arms' was also worked on in various cities including Liverpool and Paris, unlike their first longplayer which was recorded in "dribs and drabs" says frontman Orlando Weeks."[1] The video to the album's first official single, "Love You Better", was uploaded to exclusively to ClashMusic.com on March 27 ahead of an April 27 release. [2] A review on the same website reads: "The Maccabees have made sure that no listener is going to leave the experience not feeling touched in some way – by the tonal dexterity, the lyrical openness, or something that’s not so obvious until the third or fourth listen."
