The eponymously titled
The Ordinary Boys is the British outfit's first studio album in nine years. The album follows up the group's 2006 swan song, How to Get Everything You Ever Wanted in Ten Easy Steps, and finds them re-engaging with the guitar-based indie rock of their early work. Returning here are lead singer/songwriter Sam Preston along with original drummer Charles Stanley and former
Spectrals guitarist Louis Jones. Included on
The Ordinary Boys are the singles "Awkward" and "Four-Letter Word." ~ Matt Collar
