7 / 10 Bearing the musical equivalent of a 5am, head-exploding hangover – but in a good way – the Leicester post-rock foursome’s new record is instrumental, atmospheric, noisy brilliance that gets right inside the battered crevices of your skull and pounds on the sides.

Their first studio-recorded album, after working on the other two in a spare bedroom, took a grand total of 18 months to put together and is reminiscent of the likes of 65daysofstatic[a], [a]Mogwai and Glassjaw. Epic guitars, crashing drums and intense keys – it’s a dramatic record that will shake your bones.
