Marks to Prove It, the Maccabees' fourth studio album, came out on Fiction Records on 31 July 2015, and it's a love letter to their own corner of London. The band made it at their studio in Elephant and Castle, and the sleeve shows the Michael Faraday Memorial that stands nearby. Laurie Latham is credited as producer.
Orlando Weeks' fragile, wavering croon still sits at the centre, but Felix White and Hugo White let the guitars off the leash on the title track, which comes on in a nervy rush, while bassist Rupert Jarvis and drummer Sam Doyle keep the engine room tight. It went to number one in the UK, and it turned out to be their last word for a long while: the band called it a day in August 2016, played farewell shows in 2017 and only announced a reunion in 2024.
