No Pain in Pop has been a while enamoured with the artisan pop music of Brooklyn’s Parts & Labor. Recently expanded to a quartet (the acquisition of guitarist Sarah Lipstate adding a flash of naïf charm to a sound storm that was always noble in its toil, drummer Joe Wong mooring the whole thing with motorik anchor) P&L return later this year with a new record. Receivers is the successor to last year’s Mapmaker longplayer, the band’s fourth full album and – by the sounds of new single ‘Nowhere’s Nigh’ – it towers in melodic altitudes only hinted at by the band’s past; cutting a dash between pop and noise that compels us into sundreams of The Left Banke sweating a builder’s broth as there’s laughing with friends in the swelter of a humid city, all good work, cash in hand for some of Tom Wolfe’s “good ol’ boys” as they give up their days to earn weekend money for a short roadtrip to Rockaway. They'll be back in work dead on seven Monday morning though, for sure.

Receivers is released in the UK on the 3rd of November (10/21 in the US) through Jagjaguwar.
