Based in the USA, Ukrainian born Eugene Hutz and his merry global band of gypsy punks have long brought chaotic energy to stage and studio alike. So it’s quite strange – not to mention disconcerting – to hear just how smooth and commercial this new album is, especially given the famous Sex Pistols line from ‘God Save The Queen’ in its title.

Lead single ‘Ignition’ has an EDM influence, as does the nagging synth opening track, which is also the title track, and the playful ‘Crayons’ wouldn’t sound out of place on the indie disco dancefloor, with its baggy Britpop rhythm. As ever, politics is an overarching thematic concern, with Hutz growling and spitting manifestoes for a better tomorrow, not least on the anthemic, surging ‘We Did Good With The Good We Did,’ and ‘No Time For Idiots’ is pretty self-explanatory and dripping with scabrous barbs and sarcasm. Traditional instrumentation (wild folk fiddles) collides with electronics in an at times uneasy mix.

The songwriting is undoubtedly sincere, often posing fundamental existential questions, and is often rather touching. ‘Solidarity’ speaks to empathy for the Ukrainians in these dark days, while ‘Boiling Point’ is brimful of acoustic agitation. Despite the philosophical nature, I can’t help but miss the incendiary punk anarchy (always threatening to implode at any given time ) of the early days. But there’s still a lot to revel in, and it will be a fun live experience, as ever.
