Lucky seven. Astonishingly, the Herbaliser are now approaching their seventh studio album, yet their blend of hip hop, soul and electronics has rarely felt so vital, so young. New album There Were Seven finds the band on imperious form, rampaging through fifteen nuggets of deeply psychedelic, tripped out audio.

Recent single 'The Lost Boy' has already made a deep impression. They've come back to stick a banana in the tailpipe of that machine that keeps churning out plastic pop idols, fake hustlers and blow up dolls.
