Something of a Rubber Soul pastiche. Please tell me that Randy Scouse Git is a Beatles piss take. This worked well with the country soul tracks; not so when it went off waffling in a folk direction. There's a sad feeling that tries to hold the different fragments together. Zilch very odd. It reminded me of A Tribe Called Quest and Benita Applebaum. Drugs might have been involved. Not really an album, more a random collection of songs

Some interesting ideas in here but my brain didn't have the space to sift through them all, so this ended up feeling more like random songs than a cohesive album. Nicely psychedelic in places, but it put me in mind of Bowie's Laughing Gnome at various moments. Probably worth another listen at some point, but must admit I felt more at home when the deluxe edition launched into the Spanish version of 'Hey Hey...'. 2.5 stars.
