It seems appropriate that I’m writing this on the day of a tube strike in London. Evans The Death guitarist Dan Moss sums up the lyrics of their new single Expect Delays, the title track from their second album, saying “It’s about people failing to connect with each other. It’s a good soundtrack to travelling …
