It’s inevitable a certain demographic will eat this up, yet anyone with any semblance of a critical ear will find boredom and lethargy before any pleasure.

There’s no denying the group has a brilliant discography, but seeing the trio change between drum kits, keyboards, homemade glitch stations and guitars mid-song was something to behold.

Anyone looking for some experimental pop will find much to love about this Afro-beat revival psych-pop groover.

This record fits somewhat comfortably alongside the likes of Django Django and Alt-J.

To Be Kind is a masterwork of the highest order, one of 2014’s finest releases, and a highlight from a 30-year-plus discography.

III is likely the group’s finest album highlight, CC, featuring none other than Savages’ Jehnny Beth, is a career fine point, yet the record frustratingly fails to push the band’s sound further than before.

The ease with which she blends styles and juxtaposes ideas so naturally is something to admire, and for locals, something to look at with pride.

It’s not life-changing music by any means, but this is a lush, pleasant and occasionally gorgeous debut.

On the whole though, the album is more intriguing oddity than pop masterpiece.
