There’s a euphonious heart double-fast-pumping beneath lovable licks and dangerously infectious lyrical twists that fires these jangly songs along like the proverbial train full of gasoline.

Where previous record, ‘Modern Fiction’, wore its influences proudly on its sleeves, this time round, they’ve ripped off their shirts, spread their wings and are taking off entirely under their own independent volition.

These purveyors of harmony-laden indie-pop are unlikely to ever escape our end of year lists if they keep on the way they’re going. Their last album reached dizzy heights, featuring prominently in our annual round up and we think that this one even out-soars that, gliding easily over the golden-hued vistas it so effortlessly invokes with each gleaming shard of indie rock excellence.

This uplifting rush of sepia-toned speaker honey is designed for tearing down the open road with the windows down and the sun bouncing off your hair / forehead. Just make sure that your shades are on, the visor is down and that you veer directly into ‘Harm’s Way’.

Our Derry says: "As soon as I heard it, this was always going to be album of the year. It could have come out anytime from the mid- 80s on. Just perfect for anyone who loves driving, indie jangle pop with an air of melancholy not so far below the surface. It’s up there with the line that runs from The Go-Betweens to the Weather Prophets, Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Rolling Blackouts and Reds, Pinks And Purples."

Our Louis says: "This whole album has been a cluster of earworms that I have just not managed to shake all year. No matter what comes along, this is the album that I keep coming back to. Nine expertly crafted jangle-pop nuggets with clean, breezy guitar melodies beautifully weaving with observational and bittersweet lyrics; and all under 30 mins! There are obvious nods to bands like the Feelies and The Go-Betweens but Ducks Ltd. have their own style and, with this album, have created a modern indie pop masterpiece."
