Boyracer - Hit And Miss

  Boyracer have just released their 13th album. They were founded back in 1990 by ever present vocalist/guitarist Stuart Anderson and they're a band who's music I've found myself dipping in and out of down the years whether it was hearing them on the John Peel show or when I was compiling indie mixtapes to listen to on my night shifts at work (tracks like I've Got It And It's Not Worth Having, He Gets Me So Hard and Jump being particular favourites).

  There's been numerous line up changes along the way and it's still a large cast of contributors this time around though the addition of Christina Riley (Artsick, Burnt Palms) looks to be more permanent. The album has been in the gestation period for a couple of years with recording taking place in Flagstaff Arizona, Sydney Australia, Berlin Germany, and Scarborough UK. Titled On A Promise, it's available on vinyl (with a ltd edition yellow flexidisc) via Emotional Response Records   https://emotionalresponserecords.com/collections/frontpage/products/boyracer-on-a-promise and as a digital download : https://emotional-response-recs.bandcamp.com/album/on-a-promise

  There's some very good tracks on there, initial highlights include Bunk Off Work Today, Girl In A Soul Band and the single Bored and Lonely but it's an all over consistently good album.

  This track comes with a video and it's an upbeat pop delight so that's the one I'm posting today. It's titled Hit And Miss...
