    Sounding fifty years out of time and traversing genres without concern, it is unlike anything else you will hear this summer. And you really must hear it.

    This album will please fans of the vintage stylings of Adele, Duffy and the late Amy Winehouse.

    Smoking in Heaven is hugely enjoyable.

    The music on Smoking in Heaven is simple, but these songs are also beautifully rendered with a kinetic energy missing in much of today's auto-tuned chart-topping hits.

    They sound like they don't just have a warmth for the genres they plunder here: they know them inside out.

    Festival stalwarts and vintage sonics trailblazers, their no-fuss rhythm and blues has little truck with reinventing the wheel and fizzes with the simple joy of creation.
