THE DARKNESS: Pinewood Smile (Cooking Vinyl)

-

THE Darkness maintain their recent revival as frontman Justin Hawkins calls on new recruit Rufus Taylor, son of Queen’s Roger, to buttress his falsetto vocals with sturdy harmonies and drums. Tongues are firmly in cheek as Justin addresses commuter belt frustratio­n on Southern Trains and the ‘ethical conundrum’ of groupies on All The Pretty Girls. Lengthy solos get in the way of some decent songs, but Pinewood Smile should still leave devotees beaming.
