專輯介紹：
Pantomime Hearse is the 11-track debut album by Mascot Fight,recorded in a second storey studio that overlooks Derby's oldjail and gallows. The band has honed their sound since theirearly material and the polished-but-not-overly-slick production does justice to the stronger hooks and better-realised melodies. It represents a cross-section of styles, from the twee-ish pop of That's A Photocopier to the darker, call-and-respond rock interplay of Fifty Kwacha. Jangly, concise pop songs dominate the first half the record, with only Play the Meathead Anthem hinting at the bands darker side. The hi-hats intro and ensuing riffage soon gives way to another poppy chorus, however. The mood switches permanently for the remainder of the album's 27 minutes when the pining lead guitars introduce Dalian Shied Away. Lyrically, the songs are sometimes satirical – opener Terry is the Chicago Sun pokes fun at tabloid newspapers – but often draw from day-to-day experiences. The likes of Pavement and Blur are audible influences throughout and the album, with hints of Pete & the Pirates and Belle & Sebastian peeping through.
