The Balance is Catfish and the Bottlemen's third album, a 2019 record that sharpens the Welsh band's anthemic indie rock into something leaner and more urgent.
Formed in Llandudno and fronted by Van McCann, the band had built a huge following with The Balcony and The Ride, two albums packed with shout-along choruses and wiry guitars. For this one they teamed up with producer Jacknife Lee, keeping things tight and punchy, and gave every song a one-word title, a neat signature for a record that wastes nothing.
"Longshot" opens the album and served as its lead single, a driving, chiming rocker with a soaring hook built for festival fields. "Fluctuate" keeps the momentum high, McCann's raspy voice riding urgent drums, while "Conversation" turns on a restless, tightly wound groove that refuses to sit still.
The album rarely lets up, packing eleven songs into a compact running time that feels designed to be played loud. Even its quieter stretches carry a bristling tension, with guitars that sound ready to snap back into full flight at any moment.
For fans of guitar music that wears its heart on its sleeve and its amps cranked high, The Balance is a confident, focused statement. It's the sound of a band who know exactly what they do best and do it with total conviction.
