Album Review: Bill Ryder-Jones - West Kirby County Primary

He sounds proper posh but Bill Ryder-Jones is one of UK music's hardest workers.

A teenage guitarist with The Coral, Ryder-Jones left the band following anxiety issues and now has plenty of solo/film work up his sleeve. On West Kirby County Primary he's produced a solo rocker that's really good in parts but lacks in variety. The acoustic Tell Me You Don't Love Me Watching is seriously sinister while Two To Birkenhead has a nice slacker rock vibe and Let's Get Away From Here is a belting ballad. Satellites delivers big at the end, but the middle plods a little.
