The Zutons' debut murder mystery came in 2004, introducing them not but as revivalists but magpies, raiding Merseyside's lineage then splashing it up with Stax brass, psych-pop twitchiness and barroom soul. The album's Mercury nomination confirmed what the grooves already suggested: this was indie rock with colour in its cheeks, where 'Zuton Fever' kicks the door in with wiry guitar and honking sax; 'Pressure Point' struts on cowbell and clipped funk (helped into ubiquity by a Levi's Jeans sync); 'Havana Gang Brawl' on restless, exigent jangle. Long scarce on wax, this reissue restores the debut, a band delighting in its own contradictions: brash, tender, retro-minded, gleefully off-centre.
