Playing things safe has never been The Drink’s philosophy. Throughout the trio’s evolution, their gloriously off-kilter guitar pop melodies and lyrical curiosities have commanded attention – and on brand new album Capital, they’re pushing the boundaries even further, eschewing meticulous planning in favour of instinct across even more wondrously intriguing tracks. “Capital can mean a lot of things” explains Galway born singer Dearbhla Minogue. “But it always has a gravity wherever it crops up. It brings to mind subtle or intangible force.”

Taking their celebration of controlled chaos out of the city (the trio all now reside in London), and into the Yorkshire countryside, Capital was recorded in a converted pig farm just outside Sheffield and is the next intrepid step in The Drink’s defiant rolling trajectory. The band’s ‘debut’ album Company was compiled from their first three EPs, received praise across the music press and set off twelve months of touring that culminated in a BBC 6music session for Marc Riley, support slots with Toro Y Moi and invites to the Green Man and End Of The Road festivals this summer. Whilst most would put writing a follow-up on hold to fulfil their live duties, that simply wasn’t an option: “We wanted to move on fast after Company, without that momentum-sapping two-year gap between albums,” explains bassist David Stewart.

With drummer Daniel Fordham completing the line-up, if there’s one thing Capital has, it’s momentum. Through skewed time signatures and rapid key changes, whether drawing influences from krautrock (see the hypnotic ‘Like A River’ and ‘No Memory’s motorik drones) to girl group harmonics (Dearbhla’s cherubic falsetto on ‘Roller’ and ‘I’ll Never Make You Cry’), time on tour has given the trio the chance to develop their impressive sound, giving way to a natural confidence and chemistry that has found its way into Capital’s song-writing. ‘Potter’s Grave’, in particular, highlights the album’s wonderfully strange collision between beautiful fragments of melody and lyrical imagery.

With a style that deftly evokes feeling over understanding, Dearbhla’s lyrics provide emotion to an uninhibited stream of unconsciousness, whether conjuring up references to dreams and sleep, or to nature, inspired by the folk songs she used to listen to and the poetry of Ted Hughes, Dylan Thomas, and her great uncle Frank Thompson. “I wrote ‘No Memory’s’ phrase ‘dreaming of a green field’ after a flashbulb dream about the green fields back home… but I think a lot of my lyrical references to nature are allegorical to how far away from their own nature people have to behave now, in order to survive.”

Mixed and mastered by Tobias Warwick Jones, Capital exhibits the band’s appreciation of artists from The Modern Lovers to Rory Gallagher. The result is a record that transcends its predecessor, bolstered by playful danceability. Take the disco-infused ‘You Won’t Come Back At All’, born from a night out dancing in Whitechapel, whilst lead track ‘The Coming Rain’ is the result of years spent listening to Kenyan Ayub Ogada. Elsewhere the nervy blues guitar sound of ‘Hair Trigger’ and ‘Like A River’ are driven by what Dearbhla calls a ‘got-to-catch-my-train feel’. “We only found the right guitar sound about an hour before I had to leave for my train and I wanted to record as many tracks as possible with that sound. It was a bit down to the wire but it’s given the record an energy we wouldn’t have otherwise had” she says.

Between them, the band members have other projects; Dearbhla continues to play in The Wharves and Shield Your Eyes, whose guitarist Stef Ketteringham has hugely influenced Dearbhla’s playing. Daniel has recently collaborated with award-winning short-story writer Stuart Evers, creating soundscapes inspired by the writer’s latest collection, Your Father Sends His Love.

“The band has shape-shifted as a sort of evolving unit into something which is now a bit less cerebral and more instinctive. We always knew it was more than the sum of its parts from the beginning, but I don’t think any of us expected to be improvising takes in the studio.” Showcasing Dearbhla’s beguiling lyrics, Capital is the sound of The Drink harnessing their groove and moving their sound to new, unexplored places.

You get what you pay for
Style: Steam Mop
It's just OK. It does get the job done, but poorly made and I don't expect it to last long. Unlike other steam mops I've had, this one leaves the floor wet. Plus the pad does not pick up any stuck-on gunk that the steam loosened. I had to go back and pick up a few pieces by hand. Instructions say to let the water tank air dry before storing, but the attached lid makes it hard to let air into the tank. In retrospect I should have spent a few dollars more and gotten a better unit.

Good purchase for the price point
Style: Steam Mop
This mop is perfect as it is compact while being easy to use. Stuck food on the floor? Not after using this. Crayon? Vanishes. Sticky substance? no more. Great but for the price

It is a keeper for sure!
Style: Steam Mop
This is about 100% better than I ever imagined. It has every feature I want and none of the stuff I don't want. It has a SUPER long cord, it heats up quick and works exactly as it is supposed to. I steam cleaned everything from my stained concrete floors, THE ENTIRE COUCH, and low pile area rugs. Love this thing and SO MUCH cheaper that the competing brands.

Great Starter Knife Set With Everything You Need
Size: 9-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
5/5 stars for the Amazon Basics High Carbon Stainless Steel Knife Set. I have been really impressed with this set overall and it has handled pretty much every kitchen task I have thrown at it so far. Right out of the box the knives were insanely sharp and felt much higher quality than I was expecting for the price. One of the biggest pros is the variety of knives included. It comes with basically every knife you would need for normal cooking and kitchen use which makes it a great all-in-one set. The knives also have a really nice weight to them and feel balanced in the hand instead of feeling cheap or flimsy. The grip is nice as well not slippery and while using it I feel like it stays put in my hand. They have held up well with regular use and have been easy to clean after cooking. The high carbon stainless steel has also done a good job resisting rust and staining which is important for a set that gets used often. Another nice addition is the included honing rod which helps maintain the edge and keep the blades performing well over time. I did notice that the edge on the knife I use the most has started to wear down a tiny bit after extended use, but that is expected with pretty much any frequently used kitchen knife and can usually be maintained with regular honing. As for cons, the wooden knife block is nice looking but I could see it potentially cracking over time if it is not taken care of properly or exposed to too much moisture. Other than that, I really do not have many complaints with this set. Overall I think this is a fantastic knife set for anyone who just moved out and needs a complete kitchen setup or for someone wanting to replace an older worn out knife set. I actually gifted a set to my in-laws already and they have been loving it as well. I would definitely recommend it.
