    surprised him didn't mention the bassline on Daffodils. One of the inventive bass techniques i've ever seen and it's an phenomenal line throughout the track. Has to be seen live to appreciate

    i found this band a couple months ago in the leadup to this album and thought the collection of singles was an EP and that that was all we were gonna get from them. so glad this album came out because it's really good and adds to my evergrowing collection of uk indie bands i can't get enough of. bcnr, divorce, and yard act being some other of my faves currently.

    Had the pleasure of seeing them live a few months back, beyond excellent, they are going to do something special one day. However, the album is just a bit too mid-tempo to really live up to the hype. However, there’s so much potential on show here I can’t help be excited for whatever comes next. The World’s Biggest Paving Slab goes so, so hard.

    Sometimes, like on World's Biggest, there's something about the engineering that leads to the guitars and sounds in general on this record lacking an edge and blending together into a nondescript jumble of noise, not nearly as pleasant as shoegaze records like the recent feeble little horse album, but still hard and I'll admit this is still a great record and I enjoyed it most of the time. It's sometimes giving BC,NR, like Broken Biscuits could've flat out been on Live at Bush Hall between the instrumental movements and the vocal switches from singing to deadpan. But their range to also pull off something more aggressive seemed good too. They're clearly very capable and I look forward to more, the engineering was just a huge snag that held back this record's best songs for me.

    I've listened to this album a few times now and, yep, this is a pretty fair review, although I believe I like it more than Anthony. As a sidenote, however, I really don't like the album art. It reminds me of something dada/surrealist Max Ernst might've done, which is what I think they were going for, but not nearly as good.

    Seldom agree with this man but I'm as close as I ever been here and he highlighted "nearly daffodils" . So yeah, Mercury Music contenders for sure if they enter... but I guess that means as much as Eurovision and what drugs the judges are taken that night. All releases and there was a few were all one vinyl too 😉.... I guess the twins will come later. "Best tears of your life" is not near as autotuned as he makes out - just the song title "chorus" and it gives more than it takes. The album has incredible movement in all directions - like the wax in a lava lamp.but yes
    keep an eye on them - a talent for sure
