Short, snappy, sharp and caustically ironic, the Liverpool indie post-punk band’s 30-minute, eight-track LP follows their excellent 2021 EP Grand National with biting lyrics, catchy melodies and ferocious energy. Tennis, written by the band’s Sean Murphy-O'Neil and Sean Thomas, was previously highlighted as a Song of the Day, and uses another sporting theme, this time to focus on to-and-fro ball-hitting in dysfunctional relationship insecurity with spoken elements that run parallel with other in-vogue bands such as Dry Cleaning. Jumper catchily harks back to a Manchester early-90s syncopated indie style, Famous thumps out some clever jibes at the media spotlight, Loaded is fiercely ironic banger being in a guitar band, and Uncanny Valley Forever begins with squelchy electronica to undermine the entire guitar music idea. Mischievous and infectiously fun. Out on Nice Swan Records / Play It Again Sam.
