The band's latest album will almost certainly expand their audience through a more thematically varied repertoire, without sacrificing any of their usual euphoric momentum. Led Bib sounds like a heavy-metal guitar group on the opening Moth Dilemma, with Toby McLaren's keys laying fuzz-chords under the alto saxes of Chris Williams and Pete Grogan, as the piece builds to a frenetic funkiness. Sometimes, a single sax will toy with a staccato free-jazz motif, sometimes hooting electronic sounds shadow brusque melody. Hollow-wind noises curl round horror-movie themes and Liran Donin's acoustic bass unfolds bluesy figures that are greeted by breathy sax lines and rising horn harmonies. The set starts with punchy grooving and ends on the cymbal shivers and wistful melodies of the closing Winter – and if Bring Your Own was intended to summarise where this energetic group has been and might still go, it succeeds admirably.
