Album Review: Full Tote Odds - The Chosen Few

Bright beats contrast often to underline the fight-back attitude incorporating a mix of Mex flavour and brassy motifs.

It’s been a hefty gap between drinks for this Adelaide Hills foursome.

Of similar ilk to fellow southerly brethren Hilltop Hoods and Funkoars, it’s a wonder 2012’s Place Your Bets didn’t push the veteran collective further into the limelight. This is more than capable of rectifying that. Bright beats contrast often to underline this fight-back attitude, like in Look To The Sky – “I got to work, carrying stress/but I won’t be controlled like a marionette” – and they mix in a Mex flavour (Waiting Games) and brassy motifs (Punt On This). A roundly enjoyable, production-savvy listen.
