After hearing last years Roadside Attraction EP and being sufficiently intrigued by this Newcastle trio I decided to investigate their debut album, out now on Exlibris Records. Where the EP sounded all over the place, the album is even more so and sounds all the better for it.It kicks off with the off-kilter Pavement style pop of Dress Up before launching headlong into the sleazy rock beast that is Foreign Cars. Following that you get the disjointed lo-fi of Safari Of Sorts and the Fall-ish in title and sound Pre-Slaughter Trial/Corporate Androgyny. Brutalised By Song is another stomping beast, The Queens Complaint is ramshackle early Blur and Hollywood Listen! is back to Pavement, but with a tinge of country.
The disparity of sounds can prove a little annoying as you try to keep up with the band, but it pays to stick with them in the end.
