We know Slumberland has always had a weak spot for Leeds-based bands, but that doesn’t mean they did a bad thing making The Lodger’s Grown-Ups to be their first full length release in four years. In fact, the three mp3s they’ve posted on their website, made me glad I gave the band a second chance, after I had written them off as a one indie-hit wonder, following their debut single Many Thanks For Your Honest Opinion. The new songs remind me a bit of Voxtrot, but that’s probably just one of these silly associations that don’t make sense out of my head. Actually, I think these new songs are about a thousand times better than the new Voxtrot. But then, you probably won’t hear The Lodger in a shoe shop on Exeter High street.

Fact that couldn’t be squeezed inside the post: it’s out in the UK on Angular.
