Album Intro：
All Years Leaving is an acoustically-flavoured debut album from the Stands that shimmers with harmonies, harmonicas and jingle-jangle guitars and is indebted to all things Dylan, Byrds and Beatles. It's small wonder Noel Gallagher is a fan, although his poor record as a tipster shouldn't deter interest. Pleasant if not entirely ground-breaking, 'All Years Leaving' at times casts singer/songwriter Howie Payne's combo as either a British version of My Morning Jacket or as brethren of one of the very good Liverpool postcode bands ('Outside the Door' could be the Coral on one of their skiffle rolls, 'Here She Comes Again' could be the La's, 'I Need You' could be 'You Ain't Goin' Nowhere' by Dylan--if he was from Merseyside). When the ectoplasmic spectre of Lennon finally emerges through a psychedelic mist on the waltztime 'The Big Parade' and the more electrically scabrous 'The Way She Does', heads spin and hearts flutter. Perhaps these two tracks offer the Stands their best way forward. --Kevin Maidment
