The intro is not dissimilar to The Strokes’ New York City Cops, albeit a bit more stripped back and there’s a boozy and bluesy swagger to the track (named after the first place they parked their car during their first trip into New York to play a gig). It struts with confidence at the same as melting down in a complex and fraught fuzz. It’s a testament to life as being saturated with the good and the bad, the flourishes and the spoils, an energetic and uplifting rawness pervading the brisk and pacey tune. Basically, it’s a belter.
A Flourish and Spoil is out now on Fat Possum Records.
