In the past few months i’ve been getting really into stuff from the 90s Midwest scene, awesome bands like Cap’n Jazz and American Football. As lame as it is that the Kinsellas are now past their peak (in my opinion) there’s now a whole raft of new bands cropping up with a pretty similar sound (see Snowing, 1994! etc.) Algernon Cadwallader are probably the best example of this resurgence in the genre; lo-fi twiddly, intricate guitar lines mixed with anthemic choruses and impassioned vocals to keep them interesting throughout the duration of this record. I’m moving to Manchester in the Autumn where they are playing with Teenage Cool Kids, so hopefully i’ll see them then.
Also, is this the best band name ever?
