It’s this year’s Boy King album which is being pushed – ‘an olio of RnB grooves, electro-funk fills, fretboard jerks and primal grunts’ according to our review:
“The volte-face towards machoism is contra to the group’s early-day intuitions, and the spawn of abrasive yet chart-sheeny songs is no doubt propelled by producer John Congleton (of St Vincent credentials) operating on their distinct craft. It’s hard to take this turn as more than just a fad from a band perhaps wary of being stickered too much as a squidgy touch.”
