off you go boys off to war
jangle pop, indie rock, melancholic alternative, 80s-influenced guitar pop, slacker romanticism, baroque pop undertones, bittersweet lyricism, crisp lo-fi textures, melodic basslines, dry vocal delivery, An English frontman with a whip-smart pen and a biting tongue, known for turning loneliness into an art form, He delivers each lyric with a detached croon, Behind him, guitars jangle like cathedral bells filtered through melancholy, sometimes cheerful, sometimes elegiac

Lyrics
Off you go, boys, off to war
Off you go, boys, off to war
Off you go, boys, off to war
Off you go, boys, off to war
Bombs are falling (falling, falling)
Never mind, put on your mask
Bunkers safe, they say it’s fine
Never mind, just live your time
Off you go, boys, off to war
Off you go, boys, off to war
Off you go, boys, off to war
Off you go, boys, off to war
Oo-vo, oo-vooo
Wrote a letter to my love
But the postman's gone, no post
Mum needs milk, it keeps her well
But now they say there's no need for it
Off you go, boys, off to war (to war, to war)
Off you go, boys, off to war
Off you go, boys, off to war
Off you go, boys, off to war
Oo-vo, oo-vooo
