The Bats - All I Got A Shabby Little Hut

Review by Renee Dobbs

Bats' latest album, All I Got A Shabby Little Hut, is a triumph of lo-fi indie rock. The band's distinctive sound is on full display here, with jangly guitars, propulsive drums, and singer Rupert Morris' distinctive vocals all combining to create a sound that is at once familiar and fresh.

The album's standout tracks include the driving opener "The Store," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its urgent, almost frantic energy. "Old Hitler" is another highlight, with its catchy chorus and nimble guitar work, while "The Great Divide" is a slower, more contemplative number that showcases Morris' songwriting chops.

Summary by Renee Dobbs

All I Got A Shabby Little Hut is a strong addition to Bats' discography, and a must-listen for fans of indie rock that's rough around the edges. The album's raw, unpolished sound may not be for everyone, but for those who appreciate a bit of grit in their music, this is definitely one to check out.
