What Do You Think About the Car?, Declan McKenna's debut album, came out on Columbia on 21 July 2017, though some of its songs had been out in the world since 2015. That was the year he won Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Competition, and that December he self-released "Brazil", a jittery broadside at FIFA and the 2014 World Cup that became the best known of the singles gathered here.
Rostam Batmanglij produced, and the record has the bright, twitchy bounce of indie rock made by someone who can't sit still. What makes it more than sugar is what McKenna chose to sing about: the corruption around football's biggest tournament, transgender suicide, the political and social mess he saw around him. It peaked at number 11 on the UK albums chart and number 8 in Scotland.
