2010, POSTCARDS FROM A YOUNG MAN is the 10th studio album from the Welsh trio and the follow up to 2009's JOURNAL FOR PLAGUE LOVERS but is musically very different and more in the vein of SEND AWAY THE TIGERS and EVERYTHING MUST GO with unashamed soaring choruses, lots of strings and gospel choirs. The album features guest vocals from Ian McCulloch, John Cale on piano and Duff McKagen playing bass (,,A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun"). Manics bassist Nicky Wire sings lead vocals on ,,The Future Has Been Here 4 Ever" alongside drummer Sean Moore on the trumpet.
