“A basement tape dragged from that first wave of britpop, a studio floor off cut that’s just been unearthed, ‘Wait And See’ could be all of those things…”
“Surroundings layer up around swathes of warm colours that twist between cold ache and warmth, there’s traces of light and residual heat and a slow touch of absolute blame…”
“In this tight run of three minute snapshots of anger, each skewed by their knee jerk reflections, the very worst track you’ll here find is least favorite. This particular compact and pleasurable mess is the best that Slumb Party have sounded.”
“Arterial crushing and bubblegum throb. Babydoll fibres and kinderwhore punk. The tenderised splendour of gristle and sinew… It leaks like a slick oil from sweat-sullied pores”
“In gentler moments we’re folk psychedelic, loose and unwound, almost gentle. For the rest there’s a network of reincarnations; Black Flag, Queens Of The Stoneage, Fugazi, Shellac…You can almost hear the dirt of the Desert Sessions calling amongst all the gumption and grit.”
“There’s pop punk and glam, there’s huge swathes of pomp against orchestral swells, there’s wit not just in words but in music. It’s overblown, bloated and beautiful, with a Bat Out Of Hell next of kin.”
