Jessica's Brother are a three piece from London, comprising of Tom Charleston, Jonny Helm (drummer with The Wave Pictures) and Charlie Higgs (from the Ramshackle Union Band), and this is their self titled debut album.

Stanley brinks drops the Kaniks and The Wave Pictures in favour of nobody on this new album Peanuts. But despite the lack of an "and the" on the sleeve, he has still brought along frequent collaborator Clemence Freschard (along with Claire Falzon and Helene Nuland) so it makes for a pleasing full-band sound. Unsurprisingly, it's thoroughly breezy, filled with noodling guitars and Brinks' trademark laid back vocal style and witticisms. But we also get a healthy dose of saxophone which mixes things up quite nicely.

The gist Ex-Allo Darlin man goes it alone (kind of). The music Like a phoenix from the ashes of Allo Darlin, Bill Botting has returned with a debut album that matches that band in warmth, charisma and straight up likeability. And they've got the tunes to match too.
