With songs that seem to have been put together by Oompa-Loompas and thumped out on instruments purloined from the pound shop, there's no obvious explanation as to why my girlfriend was wrong again (headline: Writer Eyes Couch). I see it this way - Cowtown have established their own recognisable entity, even if it is one manned by oddballs with weirdo leftfield ideas. Its sound is here on record but it's also worth checking out their website for a free visual dose.
