THE ELWINS

Ontario's twee jangle-pop outfit return with an album of bouncy feel-good High School anthems that will either have you skipping insanely down your nearest High School or machine-gunning your own colon with a staple gun. The Elwins give you Bubble ("you get me high like a bubble"), Show Me How To Move (jammed full of twiddly little keyboard hooks), Sexual Intellectual ("you're making a fire inside my inside") and all manner of wall-to-wall happy-go-lucky ditties that make Maroon 5 and Magic sound like the next Napalm Death.
