There’s really nothing at stake for The Grates in 2014, and if Holiday Home is any indication, it’s a musically conducive space for the Brisbane luminaries. The first taste of upcoming album Dream Team is laid down raw, a creeping pulse exploding with the throwback garage riff action in the chorus, imbued with a snarl reminiscent of the Iggy Pop and Peaches duet Kick It. Perhaps twice as long as it needs to be, but an assuring comeback single none the same.
