Johnny Foreigner have always liked it fast, but from the moment you press play on Grace And The Bigger Picture and the Brummie trio take you on a roller-coaster of summery nostalgic indie power-pop, it’s obvious that they have a new-found appreciation for the quieter, the slower, the little bit maturer. The harmonies are that little bit more sweeter, the melodies that little more heartwarming, but keeping in true JoFo style, they still like to shout and confuse and get you to try and sing along (if you can work out what they’re saying, that is).

Perfect example on the latest album is eleven-and-a-half-minuter The Coast Was Always Clear, which rolls off into a slow, harmonious ‘end of a rough night’ ballad. Illchoosemysideandshutup, Alright is another example of the beautifully sweet music this band can produce, with the innocence of bassist Kelly Southern’s voice shining through above the effortless and melodic acoustic.

Thrown at the other end of the scale are energetic, punky, Los Campesinosey tracks Security To The Promenade, I Woke Up On A Beach In Aberystwyth, and Choose Yr Side And Shut Up! – songs that tell the story of a couple of guys and a girl on the road having a bloody good time.

Produced by Alex Newport (At The Drive In, System Of A Down), the album as a whole sounds fresher, cooler, fantastically noisy and more likely to get noticed by the mainstream than the debut, but it lacks the finesse to become the band on the geek-chic indie kids’ lips, although the album should spark more interest in their upcoming tour.

The chaotic collection of short, wittily-named, uplifting tracks will make you dance, smile, remember, fall over drunk, pick yourself back up and do it all again. From a band who take the best bits from indie, pop, punk, and garage, and know how to put it together, just right, for their fans. An upbeat, organised mess.
