Jack Cooper’s band has always held a special place in our hearts, and the understated, slow-burning charm of this LP is yet another triumph in a steadily expanding and solid catalogue. An album born from two weeks living in each other’s pockets, we hear a very condensed rush of creativity on the record: “that interaction, the discrepancies in timing, synergy, in pitch, that’s where the magic really is”.
The gloriously elastic sound remains but has been snapped back towards something more structured as the band found themselves naturally locking into more fixed grooves. Everything remains open and spacious so that every time you come back for a fresh listen, you find yourself completely lost in it anew
