Despite all that time “working in obscurity” (as they quip in “Serbia Drums”), they’ve lost little of the exuberance that distinguished their 2003 masterstroke “Me And Giuliani Down By The Schoolyard”. Alas, genuinely surprising moments are scarcer on much of Wallop, with rudimentary workouts outnumbering the fresher likes of “$50 Million” and its super-charged Chic groove.
