Those Athlete fans who found Wires too poignant to bear as a single have been greedily rubbing their hands in expectation of Half Light radio play.

Still with a melancholic theme of homesickness, the second single from Tourist manages to mix rousing guitars with Joel Potts' quirkily guileless voice to make three minutes of stomping delight out of his bittersweet situation.

Interspersed with the band's subtle musical eccentricities and simple verse lyrics, the chorus is Athlete in their newer adult form. Get your listens in now before it's liberally strewn across all manner of TV atrocities.
