Over the course of its 13 tracks, K-Os leads Atlantis: Hymns For Disco into old-school rap freestyles, 1960s girl-group pop, jazz, reggae, Jailhouse Rock-era rock and roll, Dylanesque folk and – most bafflingly of all – spiky indie that's identical to Maximo Park.

And given the choice of playing catch-up to the country that invented instant mashed potato or ignoring K-Os altogether, we're happy to play the newbie.
