Liner Notes
Fishing for Luckies is a work on which THE WILDHEARTS pushed their punk roughness, power-pop sweetness and long, twisting song construction into the same place. Right after a short hook, an unexpected development appears, and the music is always restless. It was conceived at first as a project-type work, but that free thinking instead vividly reflects the band’s creativity.
On “Inglorious,” “Sick of Drugs,” “Red Light - Green Light” and “Sky Babies,” more elements than can quite be contained are held. Songs like “Schizophonic” and “Mood Swings and Roundabouts” have Ginger’s melodic sense tying the whole together. A stance that does not hesitate to spill out of tidy rock creates the dangerous pop feel particular to this band. Turning chaos directly into appeal, it is a record full of experimental spirit.
