Hot on the heels of the These Men, These Monsters album release at the start of the year, a real favourite of followers here, comes a follow up EP and is as interesting as this quartet ever are. I suppose you might call this lot Art Pop, but that doesn't nearly tell the story.
Each song comes in on a different angle packing so much into its time. Glam Droogs is all 1974, a year that I still apparently live in, all Flares and Butterfly collars. Slumber Down is so 80s smooth with Sax and everything, a song that you can imagine Sade singing.
Love Plus Death shows a more default approach, wonderfully all over the place. A little Brit Pop, a little Noise Rock. rocking your socks off, even a little Punk. I can't help imaging Liam Gallagher or John Lydon singing it. It doesn't half rock.
The real surprise is the cover of Sheila & B. Devotion's Spacer. There's not a hint of Chic about it. this is more Indie Rock anthem and inspired. It would be on tomorrow's Listening To This Week if we allowed cover songs on it. This band is so ultra interesting!
