Psych-pop joy from waggie-headed yanks

‘Did I Tell You’ kick-starts the Spintos’, believe it or not, sixth album, and comes racing out of the blocks with more gusto than an Arctic Monkey on pocket money day. Straight away you can picture those floppy fringes doing a merry dance atop their cheerful indie noggins as they bob along to the British Sea Dogs Die In Hot Furry Animals party. Much like their live show, this tune runs off in 16 directions at once and does little to assuage the suspicion that they’re a secret project of The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne. The Spinto Band: forever one big bouncy ball away from indie superstardom.
