The London indie band fronted by Jack Steadman return with an expansive, playful, humorous. experimental new album across a catchy range of styles, folky pop but also into psychedelia that at times echoes The Flaming Lips. That feels particularly the case on the nicely titled standout track I Want To Be Your Only Pet. With this bigger sound, their more familiar folky-pop bubbles up in songs such as Turn The World On, while there are some interesting guests, not least Chaka Khan chiming in on the upbeat pop of Tekken 2, Holly Humberstone on Diving, Damon Albarn on the jazzy downbeat of Heaven, and Nilüfer Yanya on Meditate. The title track is a playfully daft, but catchy number, while gentle final track Onward, worked from older material, soars beautiful into a glorious final guitar riff. Out on Mmm…Records Ltd / Concord Music.
