Double A side I Can't Look At Your Skin/What's He Got? is Graham Coxon's third single taken from last year's Love Travel At Illegal Speeds and there can be no doubt that the ex-Blur guitarist has well and truly shaken off those troubling ex-band ghosts. The album was a hit and Coxon has once again become an adored press darling.

I Can't Look At Your Skin pays full homage to Coxon's heroes and is a punk pop song of the sweetest kind. The snarling lyrics about a strutting dysfunctional oozes inner city despondency as the guitars gyrate like dancing wire. We'll pogo with aplomb.

What's He Got? is a pleasant ditty, catchy and tuneful, but ultimately of less substance and possibly a misnomer as double A side, but with a affecting cover of The Libertines' Time For Heroes, you'll more than get your pennies worth.
