In the normal course of events, it's blindingly obvious from the outset how many stars an album is likely to be awarded. The numbers present themselves up front, and the text will follow. With this album, however, the blurb writes itself but it could have scored anything from three to five stars, depending upon the prevailing mood. In the end I've decided to split the difference, but it's one hell of an interesting offering whichever way you look at it.
There have been times when I seriously thought that I'd been presented with the new Forever Changes, at others merely a well polished set of carefully varied plagiarism. In the final reckoning, however, I'd say that whilst this disc is not about to turn the musical world upon its head, it does deserve a damned good listen. I don't know much about the band other than that they hail from Edinburgh and have a sleeve artist who clearly loves his Penguin classic literature. From the music, however, I detect that these guys have assimilated an awful lot of decent sounds in their time. The vocals are redolent of an Arthur Lee reared in dreich Lothian climes, and the vintage keyboards certainly sit neatly with this ominous psych-tinged heritage. However, it's clear from the outset that this band have a record collection that extends slightly further than late 60s West Coast pop.

The Dancing Mice sing about radio composers and Tamagotchi girls, the once cool pioneers that society abandoned. The band’s members can relate to these pop culture ghosts, each hiding behind speakers and shadows. Arms crossed and posture stiff, maybe they’re scared of the small crowd in Bannermans. But if you look closely you’ll see feet stomping, fingers pointing, a solitary fist that shoots up and disappears. The trumpet is screaming, the guitar and bass aren’t huddling together - they’re fighting, each one trying to throw the fastest, curviest punch. If Madness were actually called “Dependency Personality Disorder”, they’d sound like the …Mice, who bring to 80s synthpop innovation and modern pop psychology hang-ups.
