STAFF COMMENTS
Barry says: It's been 4 years since Courteeners' 6th LP, and the brilliant Pink Cactus Cafe continues their run of effortlessly melodic indie-rock that's both deep and hook-filled. this time sees the album bathed a little more of a summery optimistic haze, particularly in the eponymous debut single.
