Review:"...’the junkie violin player’ is well - not to put to finer point on things - the bollocks. So infectiously catchy we wonder how this honey has escaped the confines of the Tabloid tool shed without the world health organisation being alerted, think Lou Reed tangling with Moriconne styled ’Spaghetti western’ scores set amid a bracing and beguiling arid atmospheric grandeur replete with the merest cortege of swirling strings all pitted against a kind of breathlessly crusading against all odds force of will tension that tears and saps your emotions to a husk to culminate at 2.45 (when the chorusing whistles hit home) into an overwhelming rush of chest beating pride that rips you up from the inside. Quite perfect but then I guess you gathered that. The oddly disturbing and noire-ish Brecht-ian styled ’Man on the Floor’ with its crooked shanty like Weimar-ian accents and regimental clockwork toy calibrations is acutely surreal in a way that establishes a distant blood line to Bowie’s appraisal of ’Alabama Song’ while the cracked dynamics and routinely obscure time signatures of ’take a seat’ still exude that eerily willowy off kilter effect that alludes to Kate Bush’s ’Army dreamers’ as though curiously spiked by an early career Space. The hauntingly majestic ’frozen lake’ as the title might suggest is charismatically wrapped in a fairytale like enchantment that ushers in a softly caressing spectral glow which to these very much recalls the more quietly introspective and tender moments of Radiohead’s back catalogue leaving the frankly remarkable ’remember’ to round up the pack and which still sounds to us like a sepia laced homely brew of nostalgic fuzzy felt lined Capra -esque unworldliness replete with crackling open fires and valve burning transistors with the creaking and groaning floorshow of Black Heart Procession rewiring Disney’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’. In all honesty as good as anything we’ve heard from the Earlies and Shady Bard. A magical experience awaits. Single of the missive. www.myspace.com/tabloiduk . "
