Format: 7” vinyl
Label: Pure Groove
Released: September 7
Interesting combination of programmed rhythm and more traditional band type behaviour reflecting the trio’s er, collective roots in Nigeria, England and Wales. Although luckily there‘s not a trace of Max Boyce, The Alarm or the Manics here.
In fact, it’s more like a funked up version of Kate Nash’s friendly, cheerful songwriting style, with the fey falsetto male vocals of Martin Sukutu a considerable improvement on Nash’s, even if there’s a hint of the same mockney posturing. Not quite there yet but still more original than most, The Laurel Colective may be onto something good.
2&½/5
