The Zutons
Tired Of Hanging Around (Deltasonic)
Second album from Liverpudlian five-piece The Zutons – the follow-up to 2004’s double platinum-selling and Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut Who Killed The Zutons, this time around with Stephen Street (of Blur, Kaiser Chiefs and The Smiths fame) in the producers chair, and fans will be relieved to find pretty much more of the same, only this time around the whole shebang is more streamlined. Street has obviously helped focus the band giving vocalist David McCabe’s mordant mini soap operas buoyant support and adding a large helpful dose of summery pop sparkle to the bands avowedly retro ‘70s proggy-rock sound.
