Review by Mr. Tom Ellard
Now let's spew out some references - maybe the best would be Wire around the time that they first split for Colin Newman to go solo - especially his Singing Fish album. Hell even Pink Floyd at times (yes cheeseberger are a Harvest band!) There's a lush sound to it all but most noticeable is that some elements are very shy - they are positoned way in background like somebody didn't want to be too visible. And so the unsual sound mixture seems more defined by what is hidden.
Aligned with that is a general uncertainty to the music, the tracks are well formed but somehow lack that extra twiddly catch (the guitar solo!) ... the extra item that would make it a popular song. Cheeseberger seem to be content with being with you rather than wanting to convince you of their worth. It's genial, not crucial, more pot than speed.
There used to be a catagory of music I loosely called Sunday Afternoon, because you'd play it at a club on Sunday afternoon from about lunchtime and it would be twisted but mellow. Lots of dub, some noisescapes. This doesn't sound like that but would fit right in.
