This is the fourth album from this band – who are based in the borderlands between England and Scotland – and their exuberant sound, which incorporates everything from alt-folk, to indie-rock, to feel-good country, sounds like it’s been steeped in a huge vat of the good-stuff. From the foot-to-the-floor, pell-mell, rocking riffs of ‘Perfect Match’ to ‘Poacher’ (shades of The Clash at their most reggae-fied) to ‘Big Ol Daddy B’ (whiplash Americana extolling the virtues of hairy men) they’ve got it going on. Thrilling stuff. RM

Out now, self release
