Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking their final studio release before disbanding, the Merseyside group delivered an ambitious, heavily layered conclusion to their eclectic career. 'Kingsize' largely moves away from the sunny optimism of their earlier Britpop hits, favoring complex, neo-psychedelic textures, electronic programming, and more somber, introspective songwriting.
