    Overall there is a distinct retro vibe to City Club. Most of the tracks possess a nostalgic groove which wouldn’t render them out of place in an episode of the enigmatic Twin Peaks

    City Club may not be what fans were expecting, but it's by far the Growlers' most immediate and accessible collection of songs to date.

    On the whole City Club is full of the type of synth funk nonsense that should have been left alone in the late Noughties.
