Indoor Safari
(Yep Roc)
★★★★
THE former Brinsley Schwarz and Rockpile stalwart hasn’t been too active on the recording front since the release of his 2013 album of Christmas songs, Quality Street, but the great man’s musical mojo remains firmly intact on the eloquent evidence presented by Indoor Safari.
Working in close collaboration with his like-minded Yep Roc labelmates Los Straitjackets in a musical marriage made in heaven, Nick has crafted a hook laden melodic gem featuring remixed or rerecorded versions of nine tracks which originally saw the light of day in single or EP form during the past decade or so.
