Following the release of the title track single, Supergrass return with their sixth studio album, 'Diamond Hoo Ha'. In keeping with their post-Britpop musical growth, this release sees the four-piece adopting a spikier sound than on previous, more reflective records. In particular, the single 'Bad Blood' recalls the vigour of their early singles, but with a sonic maturity that has flourished with experience. 'Diamond Hoo Ha' is produced by Nick Launay, who has worked with such artists as The Birthday Party, Kate Bush and Gang of Four.
Issued in 2008, DIAMOND HOO HA finds Supergrass returning to its signature raucous, rollicking Britpop sound after the more subdued ROAD TO ROUEN. Helmed by revered post-punk producer Nick Launay (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), the album is darker in tone than Gaz Coombes and company's early outings (I SHOULD COCO, IN IT FOR THE MONEY), but it's no less energetic, as revealed on the opening trio of tunes--glam-tinged "Diamond Hoo Ha Man," the fierce "Bad Blood," and the slinky "Rebel in You." Although there are lighter moments on HOO HA, most notably the relatively airy "Ghost of a Friend," a defiantly rocked-out attitude runs through most of the record, resulting in one of the U.K. band's most immediately engaging outings.
