Having forcedtheir way through their second album's identity crisis, theyarrive, finally, at a place of hard-won maturity. Enter Foodfor Worms, which Steen declares to be Inchthe Lamborghini ofshame records.InchIt marks a sonic departure from anything they've donebefore, abandoning their post-punk beginnings for moreeclectic influences, drawing from the tense atmospherics ofMerchandise, the sharp yet uncomplicated lyrics of Lou Reedand the more melodic works of 90s German band, Blumfeld.For the first time, the band are not delving inwards, butseeking to capture the world around them.

Popular music is alwaysabout love, heartbreak, or yourself. There isn't much aboutyour mates.Inch In many ways, the album is an ode to friendship,and a documentation of the dynamic that only five peoplewho have grown up together - and grown so close, against allodds - can share.
