Third album from Glasgow quartet out now via Trouble in Mind
Following on from the stellar workings of the sophomore offering, Zoe (2021), the Glasgow based four-piece return with more of the same and something a bit more.
A combination of DIY basement, jam music but with a lyrical melody running throughout; the band have had some changes in personnel and position as Chris White moves from drums to lead guitar and this personality shift has led to a more driving lead sound from his strings.
The best song on the album 'Sure Look' is indicative of this driving statement of intent, pulsating energy coursing through and yet reflective in the same breath.
The lyrical content ranges from self-preservation in these existential times and yet the DNA of post-punk resonates throughout from the slow hum of say 'Cut' to opener 'Crystal Ball' which is at times psychedelic. It is always better when a band shows a different string to their bow without losing sight of their own identity.
A hypnotic album that grows upon you with each listen, this is a band still growing and hopefully garner a greater following in the coming years.
