Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Leeds-based quartet's debut album provides a sharply satirical, incredibly cynical documentation of post-Brexit Britain. Driven by highly danceable, minimal post-punk rhythms, the record is anchored by the frontman's distinctive spoken-word delivery, populated by a cast of absurd, darkly comedic local characters and anti-capitalist sentiment.
