Now signed to I Like Trains' own ILT label, James Smith still sounds like Nick Cave on the whisky shots and everyone around is falling into line late 80s output-wise, the brooding shimmer having turned full-on soused Bunnymen death march, Smith demanding "scatter my ashes by the coffee machine" in the midst of chunky delayed guitar sounds marching towards a chorus borne of internalised desperation and the ever present threat of pulling down the pillars and crushing everyone inside. The B-side is a cover of Robert Palmer's Johnny And Mary. But of course.
