Album Notes & Community Reviews

Drawn from the band's debut album 'Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi', the single pairs Tracyanne Campbell's plainspoken vocal with jangling guitars and a Brill Building melodic economy. Sonically it is built on a concise, hook-centred arrangement, the alcohol construction carrying a melancholic cast throughout.
