They may have ditched the Fistful Of Fivers bit of their name, but there is still plenty of Spaghetti Western about Woodenbox, and the presence of trumpet obligato on most of these songs inevitably conjures comparisons with the likes of Calexico that are not always flattering.

That colouring and the fondness for switching time signatures can lead to a slight sameyness over what is not a long disc.

They like their big beats and a bit of guitar twang, do Woodenbox, and they have a good line in harmonies too, bolstering Ali Downer's lead vocal. In fact his piano playing, around which many of the tunes are built, is often the crucial ingredient, whether acoustic or electric – something producer Paul Savage seems to have recognised in the mix.

The complex structure of Roll For Me and the Madness/fairground feel of Kings Liar stir things up a bit, while Everyone Has A Price is the band at its most cinematic, and Beautiful Terrible showcases those hooky horns and the fondness for internal rhyme.

Lyrically the songs are often resolutely downbeat, if not apocalyptic, which is a little at odds with the feel of much of the music.
