Album Notes & Community Reviews

The chameleonic Scottish band abandons the harsh electronics of their previous work, embracing straightforward, vintage-indebted blues and boogie rock. The album features a massive, festival-ready hit in 'Country Girl' and a return to unabashed, classic rock and roll hedonism. It demonstrates their effortless ability to reinvent themselves aesthetically.
