It’s the band’s first release since their appropriately-titled Technicolor album. That gained them several high profile support slots, which they’re keen to build on. This would explain the enthusiasm on show here. That most welcome quality is levelled off with a sweetness, flowing out over the four tracks. The downside of this is that it can make the record come across as a little twee. While the main singers’ lead vocals can be a little camp, their female vocalist strikes just the right note. ‘Chelsea Girl’ is an upbeat little treat. Both voices are offset by some fine guitar work, veering between chimerical and atonal. While a bit more grit would not have gone amiss, this is guaranteed to ward off the winter chills ahead.
