Imperial Leisure/The Art Of Saying Nothing
Having rapidly gained a cult live following, the 10-piece Londoners do a grand job of marshalling their boisterous funk in the studio.
Far better than the legions of lumpen ska-punk bands out there, it works because they don't stick to specific genres. Instead, brass and keyboards are used for whatever beery happiness comes into their head at the time.
A splendid, lewd racket. 8/10
