With the tracks from Race Car Blues’ original iteration like the catchy Jellyfish and urgent rocker Safety Switch also thrown into the mix, this reissue is a hugely impressive demonstration of Slowly Slowly’s craft. And while a collection of emo tracks lasting over an hour might sound like a daunting undertaking for those not enamoured with the genre, this record is one worth approaching with an open mind. Let it in, and feel the blues race away.
Verdict: 4/5
