COLOGNE’S Urlaub in Polen – the new wave-tronica duo of singer George Brenner and drummer Jan Philipp Janzen – have been away from our turntables for almost a decade now.

It’s much more than a return to form – their previous albums were uniformly brilliant – but there is a sense of identifiable development and growth in the intervening eleven years since ‘Kingdom of Rust’ was released.
