The Wave Pictures have been one of the more prolific artists of the last 18 years but haven’t really been commercial enough to break through to the mainstream. This album ought to change all that. David Tattersall’s guitar playing is on fire and his lyrics wonderfully self-deprecating; and in choosing two Creedence Clearwater Revival covers as the album’s centrepiece, the band have made a brave effort to appeal to the masses while not alienating their established fans.

Stanley Brinks may still be best known as André Herman Dune, but leaving the band eight years ago has neither slowed nor reduced the quality of his output. In fact he’s become something of a wandering, lo-fi Indie-Folk minstrel, collaborating with anyone and everyone and being almost worryingly prolific. It’s a trait he shares with his most recent collaborators The Wave Pictures.

This is the second time Stanley’ has collaborated with the trio, and based on the quality of the output here they’re a match made in heaven especially if you witnessed their sublime set at the “Green Man” Festival last summer in the cinema tent a definate highlight of the weekend . One of my favourite guitar players David Tattersall‘s mind-blowing guitar solos and the bands oft forgotten brilliant rhythm sections are the perfect foil to Stanley’s unique and some might say slightly wonky, world view, and the results are brilliant, very odd and wryly hilarious!
