#2471 The Mystic Number National Bank - Mystic Number National Bank

I love that one of the only things you can find online about this band is a rant by producer Stephen Barncard. What could I add to that? The band sounds like British blues revival without the Britain, effortful and underwhelmingly strange, with appealing little horn flourishes, adding a soulful Saint James Infirmary version that even Wikipedia hasn't cottoned to. Glenn Walters' vocals are passable, but unspectacular, reaching for something they never find. Most notable to modern audiences thanks to a DJ Shadow sample; which is to say, a totally fine 60's album by a totally fine band, with more interesting trivia than songs 3/5
