Without following in the carbon footprints of their diverse influences, a thread of familiarity makes Sensible Pets songs sound like they should be songs & always have been.
Exploiting the sensible pop rock genre to mask subversive themes of corporate excess & workaday stress merchantry mean this is probably not something you'll hear in an elevator heading for the pointy end of Brisbane's high rises. On the other hand tasteful musicianship, ethical neutrality & minimal use of cookie monster vocals mean you won't go to hell for listening to it either*.
