WHITE DENIM

Austin’s rock’n’roll contortionists have welcomed two new members for this super seventh album.

From magnificent glitch beat and saxstoked opener Magazin – recalling a super slinky Prince doing the watusi with Marc Bolan and Tom Petty – their rhythmically tantalising style swings sure, free and funky.

New drummer Conrad Choucroun is a gift to advance their charms and it takes some nerve and verve to match cool jazz with the power and energy of ballistic punk without falling flat on the floor.
