Bastard Child
Bravely forges a blend of hopped-up bluegrass, jangly Camper Van Beethoven-ish grooves, Jeannie C. Riley style singing, and a barely contained enthusiasm for AM rock and new wave.
It is, far and away, their most ambitious record. It's got the speed and energy of their previous work, but with a refined ear for the hook. If the gods smite those with closed, compartmentalized ears, this record will deeply impress with its cross-genre rowdiness.
