Mint Royale: See You In The Morning

Herald rating: * * * *

Mint Royale's third long-player, See You In The Morning, is another grab-bag of vocalists, with plenty of perky sweet steppers that go down a treat with the ladies.

There's an infusion of styles on hand from Fatboy Slim-type electroclash to the tongue-in-cheek grooves championed by the likes of Lemon Jelly, especially on their messed up Singing in the Rain. It's not all aimed at the feet, a fine thing on the title track, which boasts the warmth and widescreen harmonies of latter day XTC.
