There are few bands that have been around for over
      40 years that can not only claim a solid
      consistency, but also be enjoying not just a
      renaissance of their music, but arguably their peak.
      New Model Army’s last three albums (Between Dog and
      Wolf (2013), Winter (2016) and From Here (2019))
      have been stunning examples of how to write modern
      rock songs whilst retaining their own distinctive
      sound. It could be argued that this is down to one
      man’s vision, Justin Sullivan being the main
      songwriter and only constant member of NMA (not
      forgetting Joolz who has been a constant source of
      artwork and support), but NMA have always been a
      band and one gets the feeling that Sullivan receives
      fresh inspiration from each incarnation. What also
      helps their longevity and importance is the sheer
      poetic eye Sullivan has. Are many rock lyrics more
      moving than 1989’s Green and Grey, and it continues
      on this album with the observation on Deserters:
      “Still these mornings I wake up singing/even if I
      can’t remember why”. It’s both the artists curse and
      blessing.

Whilst the previous three albums have been based
      around a central, if loose, theme, Unbroken is more
      disparate. This is likely due to the writing and
      recording taking place over a long period of time,
      with the process interrupted by both the delayed
      40th Anniversary shows and the recent Sinfonia live
      orchestral project. The sound is heavier than recent
      releases, with an emphasis on power, but the
      subtlety is still there and the sound is more to do
      with the way the songs have been mixed by Tchad
      Blake. The bass on this album is particularly
      raucous, with a growl like a wounded tiger.

Opener, First Summer After, starts with a solo
      guitar buzzing like a communication flowing,
      stuttering down the lines, before the so familiar
      voice and the beating, urgent drums start us on a
      new album journey. The song has a feel of something
      passing, a land lost it’s way, a searching, wistful
      song. There are other songs with undercurrents of
      something not quite tangible, like Cold Wind, with
      its premonition of gathering evil, and Language
      which, whilst extolling the virtue of words, is
      imbued with loss and the belief that the chances
      have now run dry.

There has always been a folk and tribal musical
      leaning of the band. I Did Nothing wrong is folk
      rock with an electro bass beat which gives the song,
      about white collar crime where the criminals have no
      blood on their hands but there is blood from the
      consequences, a big, heavy feel. And with the Royal
      Mail scandal in the news, it’s even more prescient.
      There is a tribal beat on If I Am Still me, which
      conjures a ceremony to investigate the core of self.
      Sullivan sings: I have to see/If I am still me. You
      can imagine him going out into the wilderness to
      test himself. Idumea is a beautiful folk/gospel song
      that invokes old protest songs, of the gathering of
      oppressed peoples, all holding onto the belief that
      all things will pass, by and by.

Whilst Idumea expresses Sullivan’s anger in a
      hopeful way, he can also still be relied upon to
      spit out his anger with venom. Reload opens with his
      lone vocal declaring: If I have to see another
      fucking union jack/flying on the orders of the
      government/I’m gonna be sick. It’s a song about
      money, and how money corrupts, with the pithy
      observation that it’s only debt that trickles down.

The album closes with Deserters, which sounds like a
      storm at the end of a heatwave, with moments of
      power and reflection. It sums up the album well:
      power and reflection.

Unbroken is eleven more songs from a band still on
      top form. New Model Army continue to create music
      that is passionate and poignant from everything they
      see around them - just as  a poet can wite about a
      post box and imbue it with something that we have
      never seen before, causing us to view the everyday
      in a new way.

What New Model Army create is a pagan spirituality,
      which is in touch with this land’s past, present and
      future. Long may they continue their journey.
