No Thievery, Just Cool - Vinyle Swirl Orange Et Noir

Description

No Thievery, Just Cool is the fourth album in as many years from Glasgow's jangle-pop band, U.S. Highball, made up of longtime friends Calvin Halliday and James Hindle. This time, the boys decided to involve the neighborhood by enlisting a host of friends and external collaborators to enrich their dynamic pop gems. Jacob Ewald (Slaughter Beach, Dog) teams up with James on a soaring version of "Big, Strange, Beautiful Hammer" by The Mr. T Experience, and Manda Rin (Bis) lends her signature scream to the effervescent "Tiny Patrick." As always, U.S. Highball has crafted a densely populated lyrical universe, both surreal and detailed, with songs that frantically take the listener from Buchanan Street to Boulevard Saint-Michel in the span of a catchy chorus. Throughout the 30 minutes of power that make up No Thievery, Just Cool, what ultimately stands out is the band's firm and unwavering commitment to melody above all. In the world of U.S. Highball, the chorus is king, whether it's crafting college rock tracks or eccentric 80s-inspired new wave slices. Pressed on orange and black swirl vinyl.
