Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: Their strongest, most consistent album since Separates, despite sounding like barely produced demos. Part of it has a celebratory feel (‘Hallelujah’, ‘Dancing On Me’), some of it looks at the state of the nation (‘20 Years’) and some of it has a wistful yet somehow sinister undercurrent (‘Spiritual Independence’, ‘Lucy Dead’). A far cry from their first couple of singles, but a rewarding album that has been too easily dismissed.

Additional Notes

Reissued as: Dancing In The Wrong Shoes, with four bonus songs, including the previously unissued ‘Heart To Heart’ and three live tracks otherwise only previously heard on the turd that was 13th Floor Madness.
