Thankfully, however, they're about as far from Farris Rotter and his vapid gang as it's possible to get, and there's no danger of a concept album about Lion-O's adventures on Third Earth. Forget indie cool or style over substance - this is pop music, essentially. Big, shiny, ambitious pop music that spends three glorious minutes making you feel nice and warm inside.

Having kicked up a bit of a storm on the NME tour- and having made The Horrors look like the talentless loons anyone with an ounce of sense always knew they were - this release can only take them on to bigger and better things. There's a few more gems where this came from, too, so watch this space. The hype may just be true.
