The Cribs
For All My Sisters
[Sony]
The Jarman brothers’ renouncement of scrapheap indie for scrappy Superchunk wig-outs has lent an unexpected longevity to the Topman playlist mainstays that made their name. Ironically, it’s the fruits of their mid-career turn towards respectable alt-rock that have had a short shelf-life. Where their more recent albums have been easy to laud but difficult to love, For All My Sister‘s rapprochement with yappy pop yanks Wakefield’s finest back into relevancy.
