This will be the second consecutive winter that shan’t be graced by an ATP, and it’ll doubtless be all the less dissolute for it. Nevertheless, Vancouver trio Laverne somehow manage to rekindle the crass magic of a shambolic chalet show (in spite, I presume, of never having frequented either one of Butlin’s, Minehead or Pontins, Camber Sands), with the lopsided Seagull the highest flier from their recent demo. It’s loosely redolent of fellow Canadians Ought, dosed up on Codeine spoon-fed by Britt Daniel, and proves a truly intoxicating listen…
First Transmission: Laverne, Seagull.
