MONDAY, 05 DECEMBER 2011
(Cherry Red/Fuse) Manc legends’ 29th LP offers more of the same On this side of the globe, The Fall remain the band music fans “in the know” tend to admire, but few others seem to care about. Long one of England’s most acerbic lyricists and a markedly singular vocalist, Mark E Smith has sneered, grumbled and snarled his way through nearly three-and-a-half decades, and on Ersatz GB – the Mancunians’ album number 29 – he resembles a disgruntled pensioner with a cold. Recorded between London and Berlin, the LP features the same established line-up that provided the instrumentation for 2008’s Imperial Wax Solvent and 2010’s Your Future Our Clutter.
