  • Cue snotty-boy/twee-girl vocals, out-of-tune violin and a general sense of calculated clatter posing as gleeful abandon. Worse, this debut album is a smug exercise in meta-indie pop, a running commentary on a life spent rating peers according to fanzines bought, badges worn and contrary attitudes struck. George Pringle would eat them for breakfast.
