A highlight from a great new U.K. band’s debut
are a great six-piece English rock band who formed when they were students at Cambridge. The crisp, jagged tunes on their debut LP,, recall Franz Ferdinand or the early Arctic Monkeys; their weird-angled guitars can evoke Pavement or Silkworm; their clever critiques of British life recall Pulp and the Kinks; and singer Alex Rice’s ranting style has shades of Art Brut’s Eddie Argos and Mark E. Smith of the Fall.
The album bounces by with the logic of a free-for-all pub debate. In “The Races,” they subtly take the piss out of a right-wing yuppie who’ll “never buy you a drink/But he’ll let you know he can,” while “Kutcher” delivers the blazing punk-rock diss “You fuck with my system again/I’ll take your favorite pen.”
The most charming moment is “Fishing,” which they released as a single last year. Over a churning power-pop charge, Rice shouts about upwardly mobile Londoners blandly availing themselves of their stale entitlement: “We go out with our friends/And we sit by the Thames/Going fishing!/I don’t need no conversation please.
