(single/ SHIFTY DISCO)
The Unisex, ominously, are all lads. There may be six of them and they may all sport fashionably long hair, but they�re most definitely NOT Cooper Temple Clause wannabes. The Unisex have a glorious Prog-indie-rock sound all of their own as the title track to this single testifies, as �happy cattle� is sung about, and subtle piano trickles, backing beats and pleasant acoustic guitar strums create an intoxicating mood that�s so beautifully chilled-out that there is just one word to describe their music � and that�s �heavenly.�
Who knows if �Pigs And Their Farms� is Orwell-inspired (given his infamous �Animal Farm� novel in which a farm�s pigs shoo away their farmer and run the farm on their own backs), their �Archive� remix of the track is wondrously experimental, sounding somewhat Post-Trance in epic style.
With this material produced by James Spencer (who has previously worked with The Charlatans), the b-side live favourite �Mushrooms and Broccoli� is just as refreshingly inoffensive, taking up a Thrills-esque slow-pace, soothing for The Unisex�s skill in bringing forth such soaring melodies and harmonies. Bands such as The Beach Boys and The Byrds would inevitably be proud�
