Lively guitar riffs and catchy lyrics make FEETS first studio album ‘What’s Inside Is More Than Just Ham’ feel like the perfect collection of songs to listen to in summer with your mates and a couple of ciders.

Beginning calm and slow but dramatically changing tempo time and time again, is the first track ‘Good Richard’s Crash Landing’. Steady vocals and lowkey drumming start the song until around thirty seconds in. Transcending electric guitar begins as the song becomes bouncy and free. George’s raw, natural vocals match the layered music and give you a racing energy making you want to leap up and dance. Exactly as music should! Nearing the end of the track in classic FEET style, the band further speeds up into a whirlwind of playful guitar and mesmerizing guitar melodies. I can easily imagine this song as the ultimate track to close a live show with.

‘Chalet 47’ is an energetic standout. The fluid, light vocals alongside immaculate riffs up and down the electric guitar and little sound effects throughout blend flawlessly. Many of FEET’s songs on this album detail stories of their experiences as a band and ‘Chalet 47’ is no different. The lyrics focus on what it’s like to travel down to Portsmouth where the band worked on their ambient music. Often, I’m a fan of lyrics with deeper meanings but I adore FEETS simple messages. I always find myself searching for FEETS music when I’m feeling like switching off my brain and just having a good time with refreshing, vibrant tunes.

Louder, paced drumming opens the final track ‘Wiggy pop’ creating a much more gloomy sound in comparison with previous tracks. Georges tender vocals soon kick in on top of sharp sound effects forcing a shiver down your spine. As the song prevails the drumming quiets down and the music feels more light-hearted once again. This is other than the vocals which feel hostile and slightly unfriendly. Lyrics like “until it’s taking the piss” are sung in a sarcastic yet genuine tone emphasising the songs message.

An overall infectious album of feel-good hits, telling a mix of funny stories from the band’s experiences. Absolutely an easy listening album, however, be warned it will have you on your feet executing your best dance moves.
