In other hands, Tiny Pieces of Eight could have come across as a homespun workbook, yet there is magic aplenty here, particularly when Newall's hints of nasal Americana and gypsy jazz collide with the skewed sonic palette of Chris Heazlewood (guitar, drums) and the dark, slinky grooves of Grant Ramsay (guitar, backing vocals).
