After a three year absence, London's most New Orleans sounding group (the clue's in the band name: they like The Meters..a lot) return with a double A-side of original material. 'Dance, Move, Shake!' is heavier and more riffy than previous releases; a mix of truly old school breaks and menacing basslines, combined with a vocal which is less of a call to dancefloor arms than it is a fucking insistence that you do exactly what Karime tells you to do, or face the scary funk consequences. Luckily, your head will be nodding involuntarily by this point, so it's not too much of an imposition.

After the slight 70s rock curveball of 'Dance, Move, Shake!', the Killer Meters revert to default sleazy funk mode on 'Black Mountain'; an organ and wah wah fest with a lyric which, though delivered in authentic 1970s fashion, recalls a Go Team that you don't wish to set fire to. All in all, an extremely welcome return.
