Thoughts

This new band popped up on the Graham Norton show a couple of weeks ago, and although I hadn’t seen them myself, I got a couple of recommendations to check them out. So I popped on the album and got listening. There’s no doubting the creativity and musical talent here, and it’s so good to hear something a little bit different. But just occasionally it leans into being too clever for its own good. There’s only so many times I can put up with a song completely changing midway through. Mostly enjoyed it though, and will definitely keep an eye on this lot in future.

Rating: 3 / 5
