First single from this Bristol based outfit who’ve been attracting strong praise for their live shows. Stylistically, they pull from just about everywhere, throwing in live brass elements, scratching, reggae, indie and ska sound, although it’s the latter that seems to be the common thread. “Shownuff” comes across as way too frantic in single format, shouted lyrics and studio gimmickry competing for the ear’s confused attention, whereas the mellower “Recording Device” actually draws you in, with clever lyricism and mournful horns.
