I should be talking about their new hope for the charts Dear Constance of course, but I'm not. I'm going to ignore it completely and sing their praisesover the cover of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' Red Right Hand that they've sandwiched between versions of it on this neat little package.

Oh alright then. The title track is good too, a guitartasitc slice of angular indie-pop that's perfectly deserving of a review of its own. With the faintest hint of very early Pet Shops Boys hidden away in there, Dear Constance pushes them just that little bit beyond the usual white boy with guitar boundaries.

Red Right Hand is the reason to buy rather than download, though. Just make sure you don't miss it.
