Liverpool's firstmost pride before the Beatles, Shack, reissue their third album H.M.S. Fable via their own recently launched imprint, Shack Sounds. H.M.S. Fable was the band's first album after their reformation, following an unexpected resurgence in interest after the delayed release of their prior record Waterpistol. Not even an intended, subsequent breakup could keep them apart: the dictates of demand are final. Now a heads' favourite in the vein of underground, lesser-spotted Britpop - albeit with a tendentious slant towards the janglier s(l)ide of things - the likes of 'Natalie's Party', 'Streets Of Kenny' and 'Daniella' are made manifest to us once more. The songs come packed with readily car-stereo panned jangle patterns and uncanny melodies, with themes of eerie placidity, and a feeling of misplaced nostalgia for rural maritime England.
