Oof. I love Sons and Daughters but I am not sure that this is the perfect Saturday morning hangover record. Not with that sharp intro to the record on “Silver Spell”, anyhoo. Having said that, the drone of the tune is kind of consonant with the way my head feels. Oof, indeed.

The Graun have a stream of Sons & Daughters’ 3rd LP, which is well worth a listen; if the first track doesn’t grab you, Mirror, Mirror really takes off with second song “The Model”. The group are citing a bunch of influences such as Italian Giallo cinema and the director Dario Argento, and talking about this record being darker than previous efforts. If it is darker than The Repulsion Box and This Gift, I’ll be impressed – those were pretty dark to begin with…

Mirror, Mirror is out this week. Yikes!
