Who let Morrissey in here? No, wait, my mistake - he hasn't been this good in years.
The Boyfriends' vocalist Martin Wallace sounds strikingly like the miserablist Mancunian, but the music has a lot more to offer: influences range from Blur to Joy Division.
It starts out with the lively, melodic Brave Little Soldiers, and highlights include the emotional Once Upon A Time and former single I Love You.
While Morrissey sounds more like a pastiche of himself with every passing year, The Boyfriends' glum-pop is fresh, enjoyably depressing and eminently suitable for a rainy autumn day.
