Produced By Gareth Parton Foals Pipettes Pete & The Pirates The Go! Team And Neil Luckett Its Contents Will Make You Want To Leave Home In The Middle Of The Night Maybe To Go Join A Flophouse Jazz Band Or An Undead Circus Troupe…it’s A Hard-Boiled Liquor-Soaked Fairytale World. Live Favourites Included On The Album Include ‘Casillero Del Diablo’ An Open Invite To A Quite Literal Hellfire Club Full Of Mariachi Horns And Texan Harmonies ‘I’m Just The DJ’ Which Sees Allalone Transform Into Costello At His ‘78 Peak Full Of Adolescent Lust And Smart Angular Noise And ‘Crashland’ A Swinging Stomping Tale About The Pitfalls And Perfection Of Alcoholic Abandon. However On An Album Packed With Highlights The Best Songs On Offer Might Just Be The Mid-Paced Lovelorn Ballad ‘Wounded’ The Rousing ‘This Teenage Crush’ Which Drags The Everly Brothers Into A Blender And Spits Out A Thoroughly Modern Sounding West Side Story-Ish Anthem For Unrequited Love Or The Slow Burning ‘Dogshit Street’ Which Like Several Other Songs On The Record Contains Lyrical Observations About The Band’s Home Town And Its Inhabitants. Live Shows Are Notorious For Being Grinning Sweaty Grimy Hops. Leading From The Front Allalone Is Equal Parts Teen Idol Rebel And Vaudevillian In Performance Eddie Cochran And Joe Strummer Rub Shoulders With Buster Keaton To Create An Embodiment Of The Lovelorn Childish Bravado That Runs Throughout The Band’s Music.
