Springs on its way, kids! Its been a busy time behind the scenes in the world of alfie, but those purveyors of Chorlton sunshine have come to fill the niche in your winter market. Armed with enough good vibes to make the Beach Boys look positively Grinch-like, the scallies your mother would love are gambolling wide-eyed and legless into 2002 with new songs to play and new places to play them.

Since the successful re-release of You Make No Bones back in August, Christmas 2001 brought into focus their signing to Parlophone records and the obligatory Xmas knees up. Their two-album contract with Twisted Nerve has been put snugly to bed with this impending release, completed courtesy of an evening in Stringfellows and a magnum or two of Champers. This is of course all in a days work for NMEs "Swig Brother" sultan of the sauce, Lee Gorton - remember Casey Chaos being genuinely aghast at Alfie's drinking powers on last years Brats tour?

So what of the new record then? A Word In Your Ear reveals a hitherto untapped source of melodic wizardry and tightening of Alfies off-kilter pots and pans approach to songwriting. It sounds like Bez thumbing a lift with The Band on a seaside jaunt to Blackpool. Its like all your best mates dropping by unannounced with a crate of Stella and a battered acoustic guitar. This is the music of Englands West Coast and a four-part harmony never sounded so sweet.

So Alfie offer up ten brand new numbers for your personal enjoyment, including live favourites Bends For 72 Miles and Cloudy Lemonade, as well as Reverse Midas Touch which was premiered on the flipside of You Make No Bones last year.

Unsurprisingly, Lee sums it up best: Weve been labeled everything from baggy to folk to psychedelia. I dont think anyone has got it spot on yet.

And with A Word In Your Ear, youre gonna have to try ever harder Comments (0)
