Since their 2004 debut, Thunder, Lightning, Strike, the Go! Team have combined samples and live instrumentation to create some punchy indie-pop. But for this fourth album, bandleader Ian Parton has changed his modus operandi, building the samples around the songs rather than vice versa. Vintage sounds abound, such as the telephone ring on Did You Know? and the spooling tape at the end of Gaffa Tape Bikini. The latter is one of three song fragments that sound as if they’ve warped after being left out in the sun – short interludes of strangeness that add depth to a light, entertaining album. What D’You Say? starts with the sound of a can of something fizzy being opened and its contents poured into a glass – an apt way to introduce the Go! Team’s frothy confection.
