And while memories of club thrills to Hello? Is This Thing On? haven’t entirely been stifled by time, genuinely, the opener here is among a handful of the collection with the kind of mischievous glint in its eye that only appears when a band really knows they have produced something that’s bang on the money. A cynic might say that 2010’s Strange Weather, Isn’t It? sufficiently buffered the more critically acclaimed earlier material. This, their fifth full-length offering, seems to justify its title’s veritable sashay into the room, with the emphatic introduction, Even When The Water’s Cold.

Who else but a band that uses three monosyllabic sounds for its name would dare to christen their collection of nine tracks with something that’s merely a cat’s whisker away from one of the most famed of all time? And that brew, this time around, has produced a blend of both killer and filler which to another group, might render that album title a somewhat hollow statement. But they arrive, true to form, on the wave of their own special brand of shtick – one of the very things that made us sit up and take note of 2004’s sublime Louden Up Now.
