12 Stone Toddler – Batten The Hatches / Broken Hearts & Battle Scars
Amazon Records
With parent album, Scheming, already out, it would have been nice to see a B-side or live track from Brighton's 12 Stone Toddler's new single. This double A-Side does pick two of the choicest cuts, from the eclectic act's latest, though. 'Batten Down The Hatches' is an energetic carnival of a track, lots of frantic organ and infectious bass rumble that follows the vocals in a way that was made for rump-shaking, whilst 'Broken Hearts...' is a lighter affair with a still prominent bass and made-for-you-to-join-in handclaps. It's a good taster for those who don't know the band, but you'd do far better just getting the album.
Rating: 3/5
