1990'S Kicks (2009 UK 12-track CD album - The follow-up to their 2007 debut album, 'Cookies'; 'Kicks' features more sassy, infectiously catchy songs about Glasgow and girls in the main, but also references Mongolian Warlords, Bears, Jan Vennegoorof Hesselink, Baader-Meinhoff and Scientology. Recorded at Edwyn Collins' West Heath Yard studio in London with producer Bernard Butler, 'Kicks' is the sound of a group careering head first, inspired by where they come from and what they canpotentially do, into further adventures in sound and visions. Inspiration was taken from everything from 'Scary Monsters' / 'Golden Years'-era Bowie and his work with Eno and Visconti to Jay-Z through to Hall & Oates, the chops of Hot Chocolate and even the folk licks of Richard Thompson. Sonically 'Kicks' is a rock record, but 1990s intention was to make it sound slightly alien too.)
