Pigeonhed – The Full Sentence (Sub Pop)
Well, no-one ever said the man couldn’t sing. Shawn Smith has got as fine a pair of tonsils as any chap you’d care to mention. He can also write a song. Listen to the glorious “Buttercup” from the Brad album, or the title track from this latest offering from Pigeonhed, his collaboration with Steve Fisk.

Unfortunately the title track is by far the best thing on this eagerly awaited follow up to the duo’s 1993 debut. This album feels lazy - half-written songs and underdeveloped ideas that funk off to nowhere in particular. You won’t be playing “The Last Sentence” as much as their debut.
