The Rotters’ Club manages to be intricate without ever feeling overly busy - wholly English in sound and feel.
There’s a lightness to it - warm keys, winding guitar lines, and rhythms that seem to wander off and return exactly when they mean to. It sits comfortably in the epicentre of the Canterbury Scene where jazz, prog, and gentle eccentricity all share the same space.
There’s melody, humour, and an easygoing feel that makes it surprisingly approachable for something this clever. An album that rewards your full attention, but is just as happy quietly burbling away in the background while you wonder how they make it sound so relaxed.
And you have to admire the free publicity from the Ministry of Transport, if nothing else.
