Album Notes & Community Reviews

Known for their hyper-specific, satirical references to British pop culture and working-class life, the Merseyside outfit delivers another collection of scrappy, humorous post-punk. The lo-fi, C86-adjacent jangle pop arrangements serve as the perfect vehicle for Nigel Blackwell's deadpan, witty observations. The record cemented their reputation as beloved, fiercely independent cult icons of the UK indie scene.
