On this effortlessly exciting fourth album, the London-based three-piece fronted by part-time Primal Scream guitarist Barrie Cadogan take rock back to its thrilling basics. These 11 beguiling, absorbingly cryptic songs – rooted in blues and early rock’n’roll – are played on vintage instruments and recorded on pre-digital equipment at Edwyn Collins’ London studio. They feel like they could have been made at any time since 1951, yet they sound completely, compellingly new.
