Our Take

Beans on Toast's latest album, "A Spanner in the Works," is a delightful romp through the mind of this folk troubadour. With his signature playful lyrics and catchy melodies, Beans on Toast delivers an album that is equal parts thought-provoking and toe-tapping.

From the opening track, "Baked Beans and French Kisses," to the closing ballad, "Soggy Sandwich Blues," Beans on Toast keeps the listener engaged with his clever wordplay and infectious charm. The album's production is stripped back and raw, allowing Beans on Toast's lyrics to take center stage. It's like a warm hug from a long-lost friend - familiar, comforting, and oh so satisfying.

Tracks like "Vegan Sausage Roll Blues" and "My Cat Is a Prick" showcase Beans on Toast's knack for storytelling, while "Hangover in the Sunshine" and "Pint of Wine in the Morning" are perfect sing-along anthems for any booze-fueled shindig.

Overall, "A Spanner in the Works" is a delightful addition to Beans on Toast's already impressive discography. With its witty lyrics, catchy tunes, and infectious charm, this album is sure to please both long-time fans and newcomers alike. So grab a pint, kick back, and let Beans on Toast serenade you with his folkie goodness. Cheers!
