Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as their eagerly awaited second full-length effort, the satirical indie outfit continued to weaponize obscure pop culture references and working-class British cynicism. 'Back Again in the D.H.S.S.' relies on sparse, ramshackle post-punk instrumentation to underscore Nigel Blackwell's uniquely acerbic lyrical wit. The record reinforced their position as the beloved, uncompromising jesters of the UK independent scene.
