I made some comment when reviewing Statues‘ last record that for all the Ted Leo and Jam comparisons they’d earned, they still sounded like an act too young in their career to jump to such conclusions. Despite it’s 2005 Pelado release date Aux was a recording from earlier in 2004, so I’ve been eager to hear some more current material. “The Shipping News” appears on a new 7″ titled Are Go! released by Basementfire, and the band’s songwriting has been coming along quite nicely. The second song here is from a session with former Frenetics frontman Malcolm Bauld.
