Our Take

Cracker's latest album, "Alternative History," is a charmingly offbeat collection that pokes fun at music industry norms while showcasing the band's unique blend of alt-rock and Americana. From the opening track, "Biscuit Revolution," with its cheeky lyrics about overthrowing the mainstream music establishment, to the closing ballad, "Jammie Dodger Dreams," "Alternative History" is a rollercoaster ride of wit and whimsy. Lead singer David Lowery's deadpan delivery complements the band's sardonic lyrics, adding a layer of irony to songs like "Tea and Sympathy" and "Punk Rock Digestive Biscuit." The album's production values are deliberately lo-fi, giving it a refreshingly DIY feel that harkens back to the band's indie roots. Standout tracks include "Custard Cream Conundrum," a jaunty ode to the trials and tribulations of the humble snack, and "Hobnob Boogie," a foot-stomping anthem that showcases Cracker's knack for catchy hooks and infectious melodies. While "Alternative History" may not be everyone's cup of tea, fans of off-kilter rock with a British twist will find plenty to love on this album. Cracker may be a bit of an acquired taste, but once you've acquired it, you'll be craving more. So pop the kettle on, settle in with a plate of biscuits, and let Cracker take you on a deliciously eccentric musical journey. Cheers!
