RSL - Every Preston Guild, Ninja Tune

Even without seeing the press-release, I'd have been willing to stake a tenner on Giles Peterson loving this lot. A 3 piece from the dark-heart of... Lancashire, RSL (Martin Almond, Joe Botham and Chas Morrison) make sprawling instrumental music that bounces between reference points as diverse as David Axelrod and Duke Ellington without ever coming across as unfocused. Recorded as a 9-piece, RSL apparently have a soft spot for the indigenous music of South America, drenching the title track in a whole Rio Carnival of whistles, crazy-legs rhythms and a spicy gumbo of Theremins, horns and subterranean bass. Phew; I'm exhausted already! Similar in approach to label mates Pest, RSL are just as happy to floor you with a wall of noise ('Inside Looking Out') as they are to coax you in with some saccharine strings ('Star'). Sounding at times uncannily like Fingathing (see particularly 'The Plunge'), albeit backed up by a pit full of musicians, RSL succeed in off-setting their odd dalliance into wine-bar music ('The Mast') with moments of rambling genius ('The Magic Of Spain').
