Summer advertising is all around us: upbeat, colourful and oh so happy. As it is every year. And given the yearning for some escapist relief after months of malaise, this season’s batch is shaping up to be sunnier than ever.

Since their debut album came out in February (title, ‘To Lose My Life’, naturally) White Lies have been painted as morbid miserablists. So how to present their summer tour? By seeing that accusation straight in the eye, and raising it.
Good for them.
In another summer of froth, ‘The Summer Of Death’ will stand out a mile…
