Sinister: Regret, giro-funded couplets, sensual ambiguity

[Ian Watson]

Hello!

There's an amazing review of the Butcher Boy album in this month's Uncut.
Awarding the album 4/5, Chris Roberts writes...

³John Blain Hunt is best known to Glaswegian indie scenesters as a
club-runner. But his band¹s debut, inspired by monochrome movies and bleak
winters, walks the walk, and these cello-and-viola-flecked songs transcend
their Smiths, Tindersticks and Felt influences. ³I Could Be In Love With
Anyone² aches with yearning, while ³Girls Make Me Sick² out-Morrisseys the
man himself: ŒA little pressure on my neck was all I ever wanted¹. Regret,
giro-funded couplets, sensual ambiguity ­ it¹s all here, resurrecting a
great British genre².

Hurrah! 

Available for a mere £8.99 from here -
