What do ya know? How has this snuck into the top five? It is garage pop/rock (with trumpets). Hardly life-changing. But it is so life-affirming. I have played
this fairly solidly for months. It gets
in here based on sheer airplay. I must
love it because I come back to it so often.
The Zutons are awesome live
(seen them twice and counting) and write brilliant songs. Really brilliant. ‘Dirty Dancehall’ makes me jump like a fool
(and is about Zombies, cool or
what?), ‘You Will, You Won’t’ is stomping great, ‘Confusion’ is beautiful and
lets the lyrics take over, and ‘Zuton Fever’ is as crazy as they are. Mad scousers with a love for music. And the most attractive trumpet player
ever. Even when I saw her in a yellow
boiler suit. I love this album and I
love this band. (NB: Dad inspired #5)
