This quintet from Hamburg, Germany caught my ear with their brilliant single on Cloudberry Records, the A-side of which (Heavy Heart) reminded me quite a bit of Summer Cats, but with beautifully layered female vocals. Then I heard their split 7 with Honeyheads on Dufflecoat Records and was taken in by the equally great Neon Ant Colony. When the band asked me to release their debut album, I naturally jumped at the chance! Though only ten songs long, this album is quite multi-faceted, going from the driving and melodic the Lane and Lover Not a Fighter to the playful Can't Treat Me Right (with a ragtime piano part!) and gentle Mostly Harmless, which nicks the chorus from an Orange Juice classic (and the singer does a good Edwyn Collins, too!). Plus, you have to love a band where everyone sings! Overall, a really solid album, and it contains my favorite artwork of any Jigsaw release to date!
