After being bombarded with constant hype about this UK band I finally bit the bullet and decided to go for it, partly helped by the fact it was on offer cheap at my local store - cheap or freebies is always the best way to add to your collection.

Fronted by the arrogant Johnny Borrell this is a great debut album which is one of the highlights of the year so far for me. It's a complete mish mash of sounds from Talking Heads, Strokes, Television, Johnathan Richman and even a dose of Jarvis Cocker's(arrogance) Pulp. It features some great passionate vocal sounds backed up by a solid part English part Swedish rhythm section, I've only had it since last night and it's already on its umpteenth play.

Even production wise it's better than your average UK effort.

Cheers
Mike
