Cape Town based three-piece Plush return with their latest, self-titled album, which took the better part of two years to create and hone. Evidence of the bands ambition with this album is in the cast that helped create it. The rockers collaborated with Sama-winning producer Brian O'Shea and Vuka-winning engineer Sean Gunns on the album, and there are also contributions from Grammy winning engineer Vance Powell (The Raconteurs, Jack White), Neal Snyman (Crowded House, Collective Soul) and Sama-winner Matt Allison. The album is a definite progression on previous work and has a more anthemic feel to it than some of their more low-key past releases. Great singalong choruses abound, and it appears that main man Rory Eliot's music studies in the UK have paid off with an album that is a consistently fun listen as well as being more complex than the band's past efforts.
