    If the band were merely backtracking from the more arranged and fleshed-out sound Cartwright gave them, this record could be seen as a retreat. Instead, it sounds like they needed to go back to Watson to root out demons and get back to basics; instead, it sounds like a charge.

    The album teems with strong songs and performances.

    Unlike many retro-revivalist bands, they've got Hames' sassy vocals front and center, ensuring that the band's both smiling and showing its teeth.

    The retro inferences of this one male/two female trio's name appear prominently in their spunky, punky, fuzzed out, garage rock.
