Lemuria – Get Better

By paul

Y’know what? This is just a plain good old fashioned great record. It’s no frills, it’s not steeped in solick production and it doesn’t rely on Sheena’s vocals as some kind of gimmick. ‘Get Better’ is just a super nice rock and roll record. There are plenty of great songs here with the boy/girl vocals working really well. ‘Buzz’, for instance, sounds beautifully bittersweet as the vocals literally buzz off each other. With more than a dollop of early 90s punk such as Superchunk and Jawbreaker within their sound there’s no hint of their passion and emotion sounding contrived. Instead just switch on and let the good times roll. Because this record really does ‘get better’ with every listen.
