Aside from acoustic number Brin’s Song, they largely stick to the same formula across this album, but rather than becoming tiresome, the four-piece’s approach works so well that there’s no point in deviating. Beddy Rays know what they do well, their identity is clear and they use this record to explore their sound in all its fast-paced, party-starting glory.
A celebration of friendship and folly, this is, despite its creators’ easy-going demeanour, a serious statement of intent. When it comes to musical pick-me-ups, this quartet have produced one of 2022’s best so far.
Verdict: 4/5
For fans of: Polish Club, Dune Rats, Alex Lahey
Beddy Rays is self-released on July 29
