I’ve never heard the terms “Gangsta folk” or “Nu Skiffle,” but you’d be hard-pressed to make a decent argument to support the fact that that isn’t exactly what this is. Half Lonnie Donegan jaunt, half Pete Doherty sneer, half Small Faces cheeky-chappiness and half a subversiveness that defies even the rigidity of mathematics, 6 of 12 For You is a brilliant sonic slice. I defy anyone to emerge at the other end of its saucy three-and-a-half-minute swagger without a smile on their face.
