The biggest thing Katang has going for it is that it is almost impossible not to be excited by it, such is the intense vitality and buoyant spirit that runs throughout the record

The Fly
Loosely, you might term it world-rock, but this shits on Vampire Weekend from so high up it’d knock the drummer out

Drowned In Sound
Likely to be one of the most technically superior and audacious records to zing across the 2011 finishing line; it is good - not great, perhaps, but absolutely fucking tremendously good
