Screw Wilco; In Our Gun is sounding very much like the Album of the Year.
-
The five-piece British band has mastered the art of the recording studio, and this self-produced effort boasts the breathless enthusiasm of someone who's finally learned a difficult craft.
-
In Our Gun fulfills the group's early promise, integrating touches of Radiohead-style avant-garde atmospherics into a set of songs that are on the whole shorter, looser, and punchier than any of its predecessors.
-
