| album review High Slang the fourth album from electric folk quadruplet Sergeant Buzfuz promises to be there most successful yet. Blending an awe inspiring instrumental with poetic and story telling lyrics on each and every song its difficult to be even remotely bored by this band. Lead man Joe Murphy sounds like a modern day Leonard Cohen and his raspy lyrics are reminiscant of the likes of Morrisey perhaps even Dylan. Great praise for Murphy himself but for me the real driving force behind the album is he music itself, the way in which four people (and the occasional guest) can sound like a full orchestra is awesome and shows true talent and confidence in their ability. Tracks like \"Here come the Popes part 3\" and \"Kisses from the Sickbed\" show the band in their full glory and the lyrics are catchy, witty and enjoyable. Anyone who is a fan of the current day folk revival should listen to the bands new album as an example of true passion and enthusiatic talent 6/10. Philip Greer.
