    When you're looking through your toilet bowl for the little piece you felt but didnt hear plop and splash, you will find it sticking to this, the most unnecessary of all the albums passing through our collective intestines

    The Rakes' debut is by turns profoundly unsettling and savagely funny as each song is propelled by a seething sense of purpose.

    'Capture/Release' may not be the jolliest record in the world, but perversely, it’s damn good fun and a heck of a lot more.

    Not since The Strokes exploded into our consciousness in 2001 with Is This It has a band delivered such a sharp and concise debut.
