The Chap – Ham (Lo Recordings) album review

In part two of their "French food" series, wayward North-Londoners-by-proxy The Chap follow last year's gloopy debut The Horse with an album which delights in tipping a suitcase full of old rave samples into a cauldron full of grubby Krauty powerchords, Bontempi drums and "will these do?" vocals. Look, don’t expect any sense out of them, they left orbit some moons ago.
