Twee Kitten review of T-Shirt Weather EP
by Keith McLachlan

Soon they may need to delete the prefix "luck-" from the Lucksmiths as more and more the exquisite jangle on these increasingly brilliant records from the Lucksmiths have begun to resemble the Smiths. There are none of the Johnny Marr guitar heroics or hysterical yalps but Marty and Mark Lucksmiths have taken to writing character driven anthems of the obscure much like Morrissey/Marr did.
   The a-side is similar to their last single release being a chugging acoustic anthem expressing the doleful joys of summer weather. Tali, the singer, sounds more melancholic than ever even as he extolls virtue in the sunshine. The b-sides consist of a standard Lucksmiths cover version type cover of the Magnetic Fields 'Deep Sea Diving Suit' which they pull off with great aplomb with a more prosaic tempo and minus any sort of synth accompaniment. The final song is an elegaic, mournful number which makes the entire record a huge blasting success.
