I bought this album on the strength of some good things said about the band by Marc Riley. I didn't really know which album to go for, so I just guessed based on reviews. I've had it a while now, but don't really listen to it that much.
It starts really well, which always makes me wonder why I don't put it on that often. I really enjoy the first few songs, but slowly it starts to become more and more difficult to listen to - until the point where I usually stop what I'm doing and stare at the hi-fi in disbelief. I find the lyrics become very difficult to listen to and they ultimately become a distraction. I read someone on here praise the lyrics. Maybe there are some great lyrics, but perhaps they are better suited to spoken-word ideas that musical ones. It's almost as though they bend the music to the lyrics - some 'chorus hook-lines' can be painfully long.
Maybe I just don't get it. Maybe they're a great band to see live. I don't know. I just know that I bought this cd and don't listen to it very often. I have tried, but it's a difficult one for me. I gave it 3 stars because there are some good tracks at the beginning of the album.

This bunch are the only band I know from the Leicestershire Wolds. And by the sound of it they are a bunch of nutters out there, living on the fringe of civilised Loughborough. What am I saying? According to frontman and lyricist David Tattersall, a man who is wonderfully unhinged, Loughborough is as rough as houses. And the women in Walton-on-the-Wolds sound frightening! Tattersall's neck of the woods is often name-checked in his rich tales of life's underbelly; his warped sense of humour make this an album to treasure. Yet despite his stinging denigration of the area, I get the impression that these songs are his terms of endearment for The Wolds, his maps of meaning within a wider universe. Uniquely British in flavour, this set is up there with "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" in terms of social commentary. Tattersall's sharp observations have drawn comparisons to Hefner. I must also mention the laugh-out-loud lyrics on "I Love You Like a Madman", a track that deploys the best brass within an indie-alternative framework since Blaggers ITA on "Abandon Ship." This lot should be as massive as the Arctic Monkeys.

What an album. 13 tracks of lo-fi catchy pop perfection, the closest thing in quality to hefner at their pomp. not a bad song on here and some fantastic lyrics with "a sculpture is a sclupture and marmalade is maramalade, but a sculpture made of maramalade is a sculpture and it isn't marmalade" is probably one of the best lyrics i've ever heard for a long while. The way they bring vivid images to your mind with every lyric is just brillent

Excellent and intelligent music
It's always refreshing to hear bands who put real effort into their music and Wave Pictures are definitely one of them. Read more

A great album. Probably the closest band I have heard to hefner (which is obviously a good thing!). Some great tracks; the only let down is a couple of pony tracks but otherwise... Read more

Terrific
Lo-fi and lovely folk.
PS According to Moshi Moshi I think it's going to be called Instant Coffee Baby not Instant Coffee Morning.
