"Loud Like Nature", their fourth long player and the follow up to 2000's "Add Insult To Injury", features 13 tracks including the single 'Take Me To Your Leader'.Recorded by Ann Shenton, Barry 7 and Steve Claydon over twelve months in London, New York and Sheffield, the album features contributions from Pulp guitarist Richard Hawley, J.P. Buckle (National Bandit), drummers Joe Dilworth & Goldfrapp's Rowan Oliver plus long time collaborator, Dean Honer. There is also a guest appearance from legendary American producer Kim Fowley who provides the spoken word piece to the eerie 'Invasion Of The Polaroid People'.
"Loud Like Nature" is unlike any other album you will hear this year. It hints at everything from hip hop to '50s rock 'n' roll and yet never settles on a recognisable sound. From the glamtronic opener 'Total All Out Water' to the frenzied, rock 'n' roll of 'Sheez Mine', the p-funk surrealism of 'Party Bag' and the pastoral analogue suite 'Up The Punks', the stomping single 'Take Me To Your Leader' and synth thrasher 'Large Number', the album gathers up the band's history and spins it into gorgeously twisted nuggets.
