Think The Mamas And The Papas without the Mamas, and the likes of the Beach Boys and the Monkees and you are on the right track with the Caesars' fourth album.

Everyone knows the iPod ad song Jerk It Out - and there is a special extended remix on Paper Tigers for fans who already have it in their back catalogue. But this is special from the insanely beautiful first track, Spirit, which would comfortably sit next to Coldplay's new single Speed Of Sound in any compilation.

Other highlights are the bouncy Out There and psychedelic Sixties' throwback May The Rain - with mellotron - and the contemplative Winter Song. Simple but stirring with enough sunshine to turn Bognor Regis into a tropical Riviera, this could well be the soundtrack of the summer.
