Making good on the only slightly veiled threats of Curses, the new Travels With Myself And Another finds Falkous’ barbed stories--of fruitless sex, godless existence, and other pointless-yet-unavoidable bullshit--stretched wire-taut, with nary a moment of wasted energy.
-
Travels With Myself and Another is the best thing this crew has ever made. It’s got all you could ask for: hooks, riffs, volume, wordplay, razor-sharp absurdity, and Jack Egglestone’s incomparable power drumming.
-
Travels... is a 33 minute monster without a slither of excess fat, and the best thing Andy Falkous has ever put his name to.
-
These Brits--featuring two members of Mclusky, a great band that died in 2005--spit fiery, trebly guitarrock venom with such lusty glee that following them to hell actually sounds inviting.
-
In addition finding new ways to snarl in their music, the lyrics go beyond mere cleverness into sharp, thoughtful introspection, making Travels a document of a creatively restless band out to prove something to themselves, and not just the fans they’ve picked up along the way.
-
Travels with Myself and Another expands the complexity, adding guitar solos and a more careful sense of composition to the pounding fray.
