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.”

“But this new hip bone gives them a contrasting step that is well worth following.”
