Wild Nothing are one of those bands that people should really be referencing a lot more, and referencing favourably at that. Here stepping beyond their excellent fourth album of 2018 to deliver five similarly exceptional tracks, while there's plenty of nostalgia fuel here, their talents are such that nothing feels like a simple pastiche.

Opening on the post-punk tinged 'Sleight of Hand', there's a dark-ish mood to the entire collection, albeit mostly delivered with the uptempo pop sensibilities that defined much of the chart-topping end of 1980s New Wave. 'Dizziness', 'The World Is A Hungry Place' and 'Blue Wing' in particular feel familiar yet completely new, as if the listener is discovering some overlooked goldmine from the archives. Put simply, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't have a soft spot for this Virginia seven-piece after one play.
