Release Date: 16/07/2007

studio is the missing link between the cure and lindstrom touching on can, neu, happy mondays and the smiths in their creation of an afrobeat-dub-disco-indie-pop adventure. fifteen-minute opener 'out there' sets out their stall: dance-drone which fuses reggae licks, prog rock and 80s manchester icons the happy mondays and durutti column. 'life's a beach' is 13 minutes of twangy guitar and 80s style synths that ebb and flow with a hypnotic elegance that recalls balearic classic, 'e2-e4' by manuel gottsching. a clever, classy and cool album.
