Supergrass were heroes of '90s Britpop, and like Tony Blair, they've needed to adjust to the 21st century. "Diamond Hoo Ha" is a strong step in a good direction. Packed with originalist riffage but still devoted to psych-rock coloring, it is a nod to the new, done on the band's own terms.
Following the release of the title track single, Supergrassreturn with their sixth studio album, 'Diamond Hoo Ha'. In keeping with their post-Britpop musical growth, this releasesees the four-piece adopting a spikier sound than on previous, more reflective records. In particular, the single 'Bad Blood' recalls the vigour of their early singles, but with asonic maturity that has flourished with experience. 'Diamond Hoo Ha' is produced by Nick Launay, who has worked with such artists as The Birthday Party, Kate Bush and Gang of Four.
