Working for a Nuclear Free City - What Do People Do All Day?

Review by David Edwards

A fascinating and beguiling collection of sounds, ideas and influences but a collection which never seems to fully belong together»

Working for a Nuclear Free City have never been too concerned with genre. Since their debut release almost a decade ago they have danced around the constraints of genre, eschewing predictability and expectation in the process by creating a body of work dictated by invention and momentum. Their latest release is no exception although, like much of their previous work, whilst it is difficult to pinpoint it is not lacking in stylistic coherence, "When putting the record together I was trying make something cohesive in some way." Says one of the group's founding members, Phil Kay. The end result is an expansive, pop-tinged, experimental album that can be as propulsive as it can be restrained, bringing to mind artists as diverse and brilliant as Beck and Brian Eno to the Super Furry Animals.
