The first of two albums set for release this year, it's a record that finds Beans frontman (and The Murlocs drummer) Matt Blach putting percussion at centre-stage. A sunny kaleidoscope of chugging guitars, driving bass-lines, soaring organs and warm, echo-soaked vocals – all driven by tightly-wound rhythms and grooves.

“I’ve always wanted to make a drum-based album, dedicated around the beat first and then everything else follows”, Blach says, explaining his desire to explore “different production approaches, like hip-hop and crunched drums, and show an admiration and appreciation for the likes of The Meters, Wu-Tang and James Brown” as much as the acid-soaked 60s/70s rock you’d expect.
