It is perhaps a telling sign of this strange era that one of the breakout music acts of the past 12 months was formed for a laugh by a pair of friends — singer-guitarists Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers — who had for years been trying to perform more “serious” music, mostly unsuccessfully.
While the album has on-the-money production as well as a pristine mix from veteran Alan Moulder , that seeming effortlessness and sense of fun is deep in the grooves of virtually every song, not to mention such priceless lyrics as “Is your muffin buttered / Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?” and “It used to be so fun, now everything just feels dumb. … And now I’m almost 28, still getting off my stupid face.
Yet the humor and witty wordplay can conceal Teasdale’s understated but formidable melodic flair, which is most evident on the singles “Chaise Longue” and “Wet Dream,” as well as “Ur Mum,” which has a maddeningly simple six-note melody that’s almost impossible to shake once you’ve heard it.
