===With one foot in the bayou and the other in the eighth dimension, Bostonian five-piece .. combine dirty classic rock riffage with Radiohead-style space-rock. Moody thoughts and sinister sentiment interweave with lush melodies and uplifting choruses.

The opening "Whiskey Glow" rattles in with a JD-soaked riff and a jaded, half-spoken vocal that's part Johnny Cash, part Jim Morrison before landing on a hazy vocal and mesmerising harmonies.

It's got all the dusty menace of a scorpion and is a marked contrast to the dreamy, ambient synths of "Morphine Drip." True to its name, this track pulses with druggy mystery like Mazzy Star as vocalist John weighs in with an eerie Thom Yorke falsetto before swathes of fuzzed-out guitar wash across the landscape.

"Like It Is" takes another left turn with angular New Wave guitars introduce a story of sleazy rock and punchy drama. Like The Killers with added grit, it's final punch in the gut before the blissed-out, off-kilter grace of "All In A Line." Ethereal and anthemic, this is a sweeping sound and another surprising turn of events. And when the final, hidden track comes out of hiding with all the shimmer and dazzle of U2's "Beautiful Day," it only confirms that Johny C and his band are a band with a supersized bag of ideas and- no shortage of ways to show them off.
