ALBUM: TEASING LULU Black Summer (Easy Action)
You’d perhaps expect an album produced by the Stranglers’ JJ Burnel to open with a bowel-loosening bass, and his famed karate skills are unlikely to encourage laundry-based complaints. The Lulus have paid their dues on the punk grandad bandwagon, opening for JJ’s lot as well as most of their surviving cohorts. They’ve imbibed quite a poppy sensibility despite the barrage of gnarly nihilism on the road, but translating this to the under 40s might be a challenge. (NC).
