The London band’s third album, Hard Life, is out today. Start with the three-minute official Bandcamp track, then decide whether to take the full record.
The Guardian’s first review hears bright pre-Madchester jangle—12-string guitars and fiddle—under Owen Williams’s bleak, self-lacerating comedy. That combination is the fit: Libertines/Wilco-adjacent guitar energy with a lyricist using his own defects as material. It is daytime music, not a substitute for the nocturnal Portishead/Chromatics axis. Review, September 10, album
One useful future note: the band lists Le Poisson Rouge on November 11. That is an artist itinerary, not verified ticket inventory; it goes on the watchlist rather than becoming a booking claim.
