  2. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

    With its imagination and flowing freedom, half-recorded over someone’s cassette collection so you can still hear the traces of origin, Blues Control have utilised their musical impulses on a recorded entity. And guess what, it works, really well in fact.

    Tired, bleary-eyed and probably just worth forgetting
