Once again produced by Harvey Sharman-Dunn, Revenge of the Yes Men, sees the band come out of the bedsit that informed much of 2008s C92 and rails against the mundane. They are once again very angry, but there is plenty of wry humour here too. Anyone who has worked in a large organisation will recognise some of poet Peter Ingram's vignettes on display here.
The album starts with a cry of despair at the apathy encountered everywhere; it pokes fun at the in-house magazine, seeks revenge on the petty jobsworths and careerists, but ends with the redemptive and uplifting extraordinary Leap of Faith.
Echolocation still defy categorisation and the sound is augmented by synths, cello and sweet brass as well blistering Rock and Roll.
With most of Regeneration, the final part of the Trilogy already written this should be a good couple of years for Echolocation
