All In The Game [LP Import]

Falmouth-formed Moreish Idols return with their highly anticipated debut album ‘All In The Game’ on Speedy Wunderground. The album follows their recent singles ‘Pale Blue Dot’ and ‘Slouch’, which have seen the band earn plaudits from the likes of NME, CLASH, DIY, Dork, Wonderland and BBC Radio 6 Music. ‘All In The Game’ is filled with Dan Carey’s eccentric production ideas, largely inspired by the concept of time. Whereas their debut material showcased a restless, jerky, jagged and rhythmically centred sound that bore the influence of energetic post-punk, their second EP showcased an entirely different side to the band. This evolution saw the group stitch together a looser constellation of ideas, combining swooning tremolo guitars, prickly melodic riddles, erudite saxophone improvs, and flexible rhythms, sounding like ‘Watery, Domestic’-era Pavement one second and the bucolic Canterbury Scene the next, but always, always like Moreish Idols most of all.
