Worse For Wear CD

Heavyweight hipster disco types In Flagranti return with their second album proper, and there are distinct signs of musical development. While elements of Worse For Wear still adhere to the duo's old "drunken night out in the company of a crack squad of disheveled party animals" ethos - not least the thundering punk-disco throb of "Hollow Discourse" and the grubby title track - there's more depth and subtlety on display than in most of their back catalogue combined. This is most notable on the woozy "Latter Day Methods", crystalline slo-mo discotronica of "Anglo-Saxon Pragmatism" and 'Prelude To Chaos", a sun-bright triple-time pulse that comes on like the soundtrack to Professor Brian Cox's illicit late night thoughts.
