Album review: New Bums – ‘Last Time I Saw Grace’: Ben and Donovan reveal an unexpected treat

  • March 19, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
Last Time I Saw I Grace reveals more depth than the two single drops really hinted it contained; yeah sure, there's cracking moments of that raggedy-assness, but the run of wider-screen psych-country and other tracks are deft and prettily arranged, less ... excellently thrown down than you might expect. It probably isn't the kind of album that throws you back against the wall at some party downtown for a ruby-red lipped snog; but it very much is the kind of album you end up on a spontaneous road trip with, or hanging with on a rainy Sunday, and realised you had deep feelings for all along.
