‘Born Drunk’ is a playful tune from Man The Lifeboats. It’s presented as a breathless monologue that touches on everything from politics and religion to, of course, getting drunk. Beneath the energetic lead vocals is a punky folk accompaniment courtesy of instant fiddle earworms and shuffling snare drum patterns. On their upcoming album, Soul Of Albion, the band say: “It’s the best thing we’ve done, it might even be the best thing we ever do… At its heart, it’s a collection of very personal songs, brought to life by this amazing band of players, sprinkled with a little Rockfield magic.” Soul Of Albion drops on October 14th, 2022. -Dan Peeke.
