Dan Condon

The Chicago soul of Thorn In Her Pride and deep funk of Luckiest Man are highlights – but the whole record is just one beautiful party.

Idle No More should reignite the flame that had people so hot for this band a couple of years ago. It is more than just another tight cut of garage soul; it's great pop songwriting executed by a band brimming with confidence. '50s pop, '60s soul and '70s psych is mashed up and spat out with the attitude of a vibrant rock band who don't give a fuck. The Chicago soul of Thorn In Her Pride and deep funk of Luckiest Man are highlights – but the whole record is just one beautiful party.
