This really seems like right-place-right-time music to me. I mean, this is hitting me on a Fugazi level. The lyrics are thoroughly of the times, and the music is superlative. I think Liddiard et al are about to go for a ride.Also, don't skimp on the B-sides of the singles. They do a smokin' version of the BeeGees Stayin' Alive on the B-side to Rubber Bullies. I hope Dunn gets more microphone time on future releases.

This shit's good as fuck!

It's cool how the album is explicitly cribbing from Fela Kuti, per Liddard, but it doesn't sound anything like a Fela record, just feels vaguely like one through all the loping riffs and the whaling on the trem bar.

OK, let me see what the fuss is all about...

I just put this on this morning on my way to work and i'm fucking reeling. This is incredible. May have just blown past everything else for record of the year for me, and it's been a GOOD YEAR so far. Seriously losing my shit.This stuff is poking deep recesses in my brain where all the noisy, loud indie shit of the 90s switched me on in college.

I don't love the title track, but really enjoying the rest of it. Weirdly, this record is how I always wanted From Her to Eternity to sound.

First song and last song are UNREAL great. I think the rest of it will grow on me with time, and I bet their second album will be out of this world. Where do I start with the Drones?

Start with Wait By The Long River, see if Shark Fin Blues and Baby grab you. Favourite album overall is probably I See Seaweed, but the latest one was fine too and has some of the electronic bits that bring us to where TFS is today.
