It's those drums that make all the difference: compare to Lime Spider's lumbering backbeat, this's got that popping little breakbeat skitter-on-the-3 that I'll always associate with Debaser and it makes the whole thing fly. Those sprightly drums get you through an album that's a bit wishywashy in the vocals, a bit flatlyteenage, and onto some highlight moments of sunshine guitars and playful basslines.
There's nothing worldchanging here, but it's an excellent specimen of 90's underground, some even-less-known Australian cousin of Swervedriver and Built to Spill, full of heart and moments of subtle strangeness 3.5/5
