So, what’s the story with Voxtrot? Following a Pitchfork Festival headline in July, The Guardian declared the Texan band to be one of “the six most exciting bands in America”. For the record, the others were Dan Deacon, Girl Talk, Cool Kids, Deerhunter, and Menomena. No, me neither.

Preceding their self-titled debut album comes ‘Firecracker’. And what bang it gives for your buck. In a jingly-jangly-classic-British-Indie kind of way.
