The Durutti Column’s first album for 16 years, Renascent, is warmly reviewed by Clash as a convincing return for the influential Manchester group. The review argues that Vini Reilly avoids simply relying on the band’s legacy, instead reviving its spacious, echoing sound with renewed purpose and his distinctive fluid guitar playing.

Released through London Records, the album is rated 8/10. Clash highlights ‘Your Shadow At Morning’ for its groove and ‘Vapour in a Matchbox’ for its ethereal atmosphere, while noting the band’s continued cultural influence on artists including Blood Orange and Harry Styles, as well as television music supervisors.
