Hiding In Plain Sight Transparent Ruby V

With the release of the gleefully anarchic 'Hiding in Plain Sight', the band's fifth album, keyboardist-vocalist Dave Morecroft takes on his native land from an outsider's perspective for the first time, having decamped for Rome in his own personal Brexit. Not that the romance of the Eternal City has dulled Morecroft's incisively funky edge, however. 'Hiding in Plain Sight' with the band's trademark blend of free-jazz pandemonium, pulse-quickening grooves, daggers-drawn sardonicism and audacious punk abandon. The album perfectly channels the meltdown of modern civilization into a cathartic dance party on the far edges of the lunatic fringe, with an open-armed embrace of all comers save the power-hungry few that led us into this mess in the first place.
