This album sounds more blues than garage (compared to what they have done before). It has pretty solid songs (great drumming, good melodies) but also some fillers that make the album a bit too long to be really enjoyable.
I only really knew the guitar/drums garage rock stuff from the White Stripes so this album was a bit of revelation with a wider range of instruments on offer, adding piano, marimba and mandolin to the mix. There are also some variations in style too, and I particularly enjoyed the country feel on Little Ghost and the blues rock of Instinct Blue. Nice to hear Meg singing too. True confession - I always thought they were siblings but turns out they’re married!
