Album Notes & Community Reviews
The London band's sophomore album offers a sleazy, intensely cinematic distillation of noise rock, swamp blues, and chaotic jazz. James Johnston's menacing croon and the inclusion of wailing saxophones and Farfisa organ paint a delightfully hedonistic, noir-soaked portrait of urban nightlife.
