Truth be told, IV Thieves’ If We Can’t Escape My Pretty has been sitting in the album-to-write-about pile for a few months now; it’s just that every time we start posting about it, a new Jay-Z leak comes across our desk. Released two weeks ago, Pretty is the second album from the British group that used to just be Nic Armstrong and The Thieves, and while they veer a wee bit close to Jet territory at times for comfort, we are suckers for the well-played Brit-band guitar hook.
