Album Notes & Community Reviews

The tenth studio album from the fiercely independent Merseyside cult legends continues their tradition of highly literate, sardonic post-punk. Nigel Blackwell's uniquely British lyricism remains sharp, launching incredibly specific, humorous attacks on celebrity culture, everyday mundanity, and pretension over upbeat, C86-inspired guitar jangle.
