Archers Of Loaf - White Trash Heroes

White Trash Heroes seems to be a total marmite track. You either love it or you despise it and there is no in between.

As you can tell from me sharing it, it is definitely the former here. It is the closing track from the album of the same name which was their fourth and final studio album. It is one of the finest tracks the band recorded, with vocals akin to the gentle gruffness of Tom Waits. Sirens whistle continuously like a train journey as the white trash heroes are celebrated (“Dreaming of the white trash heroes/I’m in paradise”). It broods and feels like it is building, but it never explodes which somehow adds to its charm.
