"Dive back into the raw, infectious sound of Cheeky for a Reason now available in a special limited edition Clear and Black Smoke LP. Originally released in 2012, it's the fourth studio album from Dundee quartet The View. Often described by the band as ""Fleetwood Mac's Rumours done by The Clash,"" and it's easy to see why. The album is filled with infectious hooks and sing-along choruses, capturing the carefree spirit of The View while also showcasing a band that had matured.
Cheeky for a Reason made a strong impact on the charts, peaking at #9 on the UK Albums Chart and debuting at #1 on the UK Indie Chart, solidifying The View’s reputation as one of the UK’s most beloved indie rock bands. The album was met with positive reviews, with critics praising the album's catchy tunes and the band’s evolving sound. NME highlighted the album’s “unapologetic, feel-good vibe,” while The Guardian commended its “upbeat and infectious nature,” describing it as a perfect summer soundtrack. The album’s lead single, ""How Long,"" became a fan favourite and received extensive airplay, contributing to the album's enduring appeal.
“The subdued ‘Tacky Tattoo’, finds Falconer at an electric piano and in uncharacteristically soulful voice - it is the most beautiful thing they’ve ever recorded.” –NME
