London collective Man/Woman/Chainsaw have reached the community New Alternative 40 for the first time just as debut album Cannonball begins its first full weekend.
Released on 7 August, the record translates the group's famously unpredictable live energy into a mixture of post-punk, orchestral detail, noise and melodic indie rock.
Cannonball rarely behaves like a conventional debut album: arrangements can swing quickly from restraint toward explosive guitar passages. Their first chart appearance provides another useful marker of growing international attention.
