"The sound of experimentalism in 1978 being replayed in 200[8] - Hypnotic stuff" - MANCHESTER MUSIC.
This is joyously 'new-wave' and genuinely does sound as though it could have been recorded at any time from 1980 to the present day, although the latter's preoccupation with robots and boy / girl shout vocals (think Bis, Los Campesinos! and Johnny Foreigner) do give a clue. The decision to package these four songs as one EP and not to single one out is to be commended, mainly because choosing between them would be a difficult yet hugely pleasurable task - each track being the perfect emodiment of 150 second, rhythm-driven punk pop.
Culture deluxe
"A pointed, growling take on indie-pop" - SANDMAN.
"If Nikki Sudden (RIP) and Mark E Smith had covered Pere Ubu's The Modern Dance in the style of Franz Ferdinand following a particularly heavy drinking session, it would have sounded something like Navvy" THE DEVIL HAS THE BEST TUNA.
"They sound like The Yummy Fur...Trivial, tuneful, percussive pop noise" - DROWNED IN SOUND.
'never have we listened to a debut EP and been so equally impressed by every track: whether it’s the wonderful art-pop urgency of ’Sticker’ or the devil-may-care call-and-response chorus of ’Letters’, it’s what we’d call ’mindblowing’ were it not for the fact they seem so polite about it.
