Album Notes & Community Reviews

Refusing to succumb to the looming post-Britpop comedown, the Hounslow quartet returned with a decidedly upbeat and sharply melodic sophomore effort. The album retains their signature jangle-pop guitar work and Mark Morriss's polished vocals, solidifying their status as dependable craftsmen within the shifting UK guitar-pop landscape.
