Once I read your blerb on the "recommends" email this week I had a little listen to the first track and downloaded it. Simple, heartfelt indie. I love the production, raw and not fussy with spirited back ups that hook you in. But I think for me the thing that grabbed me most was the vocal delivery. So dead pan and dry, superb phrasing and intonation. It could only be English. And while I was listening and getting so so excited, I could see the clock tick back through the decades referring to loads but saying it all so fresh. Yeah, I can hear a bit of Sebodoh in there now you mention it but initially I heard more Sportique, Smoking Popes (Get Fired EP specifically) and Television Personalities in there myself. Definitely no Art Brut but I could at a stretch hear Eddie Argos sing those lyrics. I highly recommend it also. This is totally, totally my thing.
