While the songs are strong, they play out like pre-packaged templates rather than original works.

Brimming with style and personality, Le1f conveys a grimy, party feel within this minimalist, hip hop equivalent of junkyard music.

The original supersedes this version, however, with its darkly tinkling, otherworldly undertones.

These tracks imply they’re building to something, but the Bristol trio seem unsure as to what that is.

While Hitchcock should manage to carve out a pop-happy (and undiscerning) audience, Love Hearts doesn’t showcase enough artistry to impress.

It was hard not to feel bad for him as people filed out en masse during Dancing On The Ceiling, Hello and All Night Long (All Night).

The release lacks the same levels of reckless whimsy that previous LP Avalanche United held in spades, but you can’t deny Vinnie Caruana and the boys have tightened every facet of this rock’n’roll operation.

Generously, Romboy also includes an album’s worth of some of the best new true school house going.
