New Nightingales EP

The Nightingales (whose live show I reviewed a little while ago here: http://www.popmatters.com/pm/music/concerts/32504/nightingales-the-victoria-lucas/) have a new mini album out on British label Caroline True, which is, possibly, even better than their last year’s Out of True. Here’s a bit from my Dusted review, which went up today:It's been less than a year since the Nightingales released their last album, Out of True, a blistering late-career triumph for this Birmingham-based, John Peel-favored post-punk band. That's an eyeblink for an outfit that issued its last full-length before that – the excellent In a Good Old Country Way – in 1986. And the fact is that What's Not to Love takes all the elements that powered Out of True – the furious drumming, the lyrical vitriol, the chaotic, post-everything guitar work – up a notch. There are only six songs here, and the EP clocks in at just over 23 minutes, and yet they are so clamorous, so headlong, so brutal that the record seems like a milestone. The Nightingales, slow from the gate, late to the line, have finally gotten some momentum going.
