(Credit: Jo Bowker) "[Ian Parton's] range as a composer, rather than an auteur or producer, has never been more evident...[The Scene Between feels] like his most truly songwritely work yet." (7.2) - Pitchfork   "[On The Scene Between, The Go! Team's] proven formula receives a fresh shot of youth, enthusiasm and pure pop fierceness." - NPR First Listen   "...The Go! Team are back and better than ever with The Scene Between..." - Buzzfeed   "...if you don't have a smile on your face by the time they hit the second chorus, it may be time to get a new face." (4/5 Stars) - Rolling Stone   "...a classic pop album." (A-) - The AV Club   "The latest Go! Team album, The Scene Between, is a gorgeous melange of chiming samples and propulsive instrumentation." - Stereogum   "boisterous and colourful" - Consequence of Sound   "...the power-pop album of the year." - SPIN   The Go! Team released The Scene Between earlier this year - a true return to form for frontman Ian Parton who created the album in its entirety by himself, sans The Go! Teamband members, for the first time since Thunder, Lighting, Strike. While live shows may have seemed unlikely as Parton produced the album alone, The Go! Team are gearing up to bring their wild, utterly unmissable live show Stateside as they announce their first U.S. tour in 5 years. The live lineup will feature original members Ian Parton, Ninja and Sam Dook, who will be joined by newcomers Cheryl Pinero, Maki and Simone Odaranile. Tickets go on sale on Friday - see below to find a show near you.   The Scene Between, out now via Memphis Industries, is markedly different from any of The Go! Team's previous releases and sees bandleader Ian Parton going back to his roots by writing, performing and producing all of the songs himself. The band'slast album entitled Rolling Blackouts became a natural end chapter for the band with members splintering off into different musical projects, getting married, teaching, experiencing real life. Bandleader Ian Parton took this opportunity to return to do what he does best - crate digging, fooling around by himself, trying to nail a feeling. He searched high and low for the right voices to match the songs, finding bedroom-core DIY artists whom he'd never met to provide vocals for each track. The result is The Scene Between, The Go! Team's first record in over 4 years and one of the finest albums in the band's catalog to date.
