Big Box of Chocolates

Having scored with the woozy, doggedly strange stormers on their debut album, Wirral quartet Hooton Tennis club dare to get even weirder on this follow-up. Produced by Scottish indie godfather Edwyn Collins and bustling with unusual characters (see the cheeky stomp of “Bootcut Jimmy the G”), Big Box of Chocolates deals in smart, sparky jangle-pop. Also: the playfully deployed bicycle bell on “Meet Me at the Molly Bench” will definitely make you smile.
