We hear a slightly different Lottery Winners sound from what we might anticipate – plenty of the bounce and verve that we associate with them, but some of the motorik drive you’d associate with The Slow Readers Club.

Anxiety Replacement Therapy kicks off with a mystery narrator (sounding very much like Stephen Fry, but DFS did manage to get a passable Stuart Maconie soundalike a few years ago…), who gives us three meditative interludes. It helps that these messages come wrapped with some of the best choruses you’re likely to hear all year. Everyone knows what their ‘feelgood’ music is, that they have when they’re in a party mood, but we all have our ‘feelbetter’ tracks that are guaranteed to turn life back into something that feels more like truly living.
