Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate - The Confidence Trick (2022)

The sixth album from this band from Great Britain.

The band is a trio with a lineup of programming, bass, guitars, slide guitar, chapman stick, flutes, keyboards, synths and vocals.

I have reviewed a couple of their previous albums and have found them both bewildering and interesting. 

The band name means they do not take themselves too serious. It is British humour after all.

The music is taken seriously and the music is not a joke. It is still all over the place.

Take eclectic prog, add a lot of quirky melodies, add some symphonic prog, some Morrissey like britpop, a lot of electronica and some jazz. 

All this on this seventy minutes long album.

The band and this album is bending and then smashing genres, left right and centre. 

I am a bit bewildered. But the music is good amid the confusion this band creates in my head.

Check out this album and this band.
