having re-converged on the capital with four very different ideas, after returning from forays into distant & inspiring lands (...India, Japan, Iceland...). This has combined to create their most compelling work yet, an enticing taster of the innovative and genre-defying songs that define their rapidly increasing back-catalogue. It is available for your listening pleasure on their just-released EP "our thoughts on the people you love". waging war with an artillery of songs that will blast the cobwebs off any flagging record collection.
Opinions of us...
"... (4/5), who move the sound further in the folk direction and display some real talent. Beautifully crafted songs and light yet mesmerising vocal performances provide the perfect middle." -
Skinny Review.
"...First track 'It used to be...' echoes the bouncier moments of Coxon-esque Blur with whispered vocals contrasting well with the crank of the guitars. Standout track 'Bernard Drake' has a definite hint of Mogwai, thanks to the quiet/loud bursts of volatile guitar playing." -
Is this Music? review.
"....the second track (leaves) has to be played very loud in my car whilst knocking over little old people driving fast through the streets of Edinburgh. Clearly this music should be banned by the BBC to ensure high sales..." - William
"Darkly, discordant guitar parts, a heady and delirious clatter of rhythmic percussion over thumping bass lines. The melodies excite, unsettle and are incredibly addictive. Married to the soft, sweet vocals of Lindsay Sugden who pour honey all over the stereo giving the listener the irresistible urge to turn the stereo knob up full and break it off. ... wage war with a huge artillery of innovative songs designed to blow cobwebs off any flagging record collection..." - Subculture fanzine
"... improving with age... boy/girl off-kilter singing meshes more with tunes which veer between atonal and beautifully fragile to create an absorbing experience. Like green olives, it's an acquired taste .... but it's worth the effort." - baby tiger gig review.
