Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Oxford's Supergrass have relaxed into a comfortable sort of middle age, the youthful rush of their early albums replaced by a muscular, if somewhat conservative breed of rock'n'roll. Diamond Hoo Ha, however, shows their early mischief hasn't entirely deserted them. The opening "Diamond Hoo Ha Man" surfs out on a distinctly White Stripes riff, Danny Goffey's drums beating out a distinctly Meg-like pulse; Gaz Coombes' lyrics, meanwhile, rock out with tongue firmly planted in cheek: "When the sun goes down, I just can't resist… bite me!" Supergrass' sixth album continues along such playful lines: "Bad Blood" melds swooning melodies and gloomy lyrics ("Milk and honey!/Won't heal my heartache") to lolloping, upbeat glam riffs, "Rough Knuckles" gets surprisingly funky with some great keyboard work from fourth member Rob Coombes, and the hilarious "Whiskey & Green Tea" is a gonzoid rock number peppered with horns and lyrics about "being chased by Chinese dragons". The heartfelt "Ghost of a Friend", meanwhile, is a Dylan-tinged number that mourns the loss of an old acquaintance to the "vultures, peacocks and hounds"--a veiled diss at celebrity culture?--and throws some grand shapes towards the close. --Louis Pattison
CD Description
Following the release of the title track single, Supergrassreturn with their sixth studio album, 'Diamond Hoo Ha'. In keeping with their post-Britpop musical growth, this releasesees the four-piece adopting a spikier sound than on previous, more reflective records. In particular, the single 'Bad Blood' recalls the vigour of their early singles, but with asonic maturity that has flourished with experience. 'Diamond Hoo Ha' is produced by Nick Launay, who has worked with such artists as The Birthday Party, Kate Bush and Gang of Four.
