It's no surprise The Crimea are becoming popular in the USA. It's difficult to find a more sun-drenched track than 'Lottery Winners On Acid' this side of The Magic Numbers, and such it's no surprise Davey Macmanus claims he wrote the track on a remote beach in Australia. It's delicate, it's pretty, but it's loud, boasting, and most importantly, it has a killer chorus - not the kind maybe we've been used to in 2005 - but infectious nonetheless.
The vocals falter in what feels the right places - rendering them vulnerable rather than strained, as has been perfected by the likes of Conor Oberst and Win Butler of late, leaving us asking only one question: why aren't they releasing this in July?
