"Almost like an art house film, The Night Chancers tackles big themes within tight restrictions - namely, masculinity at the start of the 2020s. But though filmic in its scope, these 10 vignettes are economically plotted (the album is just 30 minutes long), with a through-line that takes you just far enough before leaving you to your own conclusions about these characters' motives. Or, as Dury himself puts it: "It's a confused world of characters, and no one's really right or wrong."".
