Nice artwork, something a little bit dark and perverted about it but stylish nonetheless. The title track is something a little bit special, it dives straight in with insistent guitars and a churning bass line, there’s something electronicy going on as well. It a little bit dirty and grimy, well, you’d expect no less from the title, and there’s a nice bit of distortion in there as well. Plus the ‘I feel it coming refrain’ is as suggestive as they come. rn rnLet Me Be Your Poison is in the same vein, this time the band offers to ‘itch the itch you can’t itch’, genius lyrics over nice, loud guitars, life doesn’t get much better than this. Dirty enough to be alternative but not so dirty it couldn’t get to number one.
The disc finishes with 21-A-Go-Go, distorted vocals, even grimier guitars and a slightly disorientating feel to the whole affair. Three consistently good tracks that just make you want to hear more, as The Dirty Pretty Things would say ‘You f***ing love it’, and you will.
