Ryan Kattner fronts a Man Man album for the first time in seven years, and there's a lot going on. Within the first two tracks alone, 'Dreamers' and 'Cloud Nein', we've had a sultry evening's jazz warm up and a rollocking, boozy, piano rock stomper of the early-Cold War Kids variety. Off we go. 'Goat' is a curious epic that has more than a shade of gypsy funeral punk to it, long brass notes somewhere between exoticism and blues, chorus rooted in folk song. Eyes grow more like saucers when 'Unsweet Meat' unfurls its seductive and increasingly frantic groove, erupting into stepping rhythm and closing chant. Elsewhere, 'Inner Iggy' is a jangling rock 'n' roll classic, and 'Swan' is a broken and honest but sweet piano solo. The point being, you won't hear much like this again for a while.
