The first two tracks, ‘Send in the Boats’ and ‘Something’s Gotta Give’ are upbeat but depressingly mediocre, and it’s only as the album progresses that they start to get a bit more interesting. I say ‘a bit more’, but then these things are relative. There are a number of songs – ‘Suffer Fools’ for example – that start promisingly and contain some good moments that witness some moody guitar work that are subsequently ruined by a cornball bouncy chorus. It’s not that I’m averse to bouncy choruses, you dig, but they need to be memorable.
Sebastopol might think that what they’re a ‘sparse, dynamic and atmospheric London “austerity rock” three piece’, but for my money they sound like any other trio making so-so skinny white boy ska-infused indie and for that reason won’t be investing in them.
