GRAND NATIONAL

Rating: NNN


With the Police back together and Queen on the road, it didn’t make much sense for Lawrence and Rupert – the duo better known as Grand National – to keep playing Sting and Freddy tunes in their London-based cover band. So they took their love of the 80s and re-invented themselves as an electro-tinged pop band.

Their second album is full of clean, infectious dance numbers that bring to mind both New Order and Peter, Bjorn and John. By The Time I Get Home, a cheery club-ready number, is backed by a solid drumbeat and hooky keyboards, and the rest of the disc isn’t much different.
