I daresay if these guys collaborated with Sparks they could Sonic Kimono My House. Ok, I’ll get my coat. Meanwhile, the duo of Roy Large (guitars / vocals) and Oliver Sayers (guitars) are doing just fine on their own.
‘Coffee and Cake’ has an urgent synth line bubbling under the clanging, choppy post-punk guitars and Large sneers and glottal stops his way through it all with perfect poise. Hints of early Squeeze and XTC are pinned to a sound that’s got a spiky punk edge. Fresh and energetic, it’s a crisp cut that’s simultaneously retro and very now.
