Britain's answer to Bright Eyes (****) [Q]

Early contender for album of the year? [SUBBA-CULTCHA]

Their songs are numbingly infectious, their harmonies sweet, their lyrics deft but daft..utterly captivating [UNCUT]

It's uplifting, catchy, interesting, joyous, heartbreaking and - not that is matters, obviously - very good (8/10) [NME]

From the outset there is something immediately familiar and yet vitally inventive about Slow Club; the riotous rallying calls of Because We're Dead and Dance 'Til The Morning Light, the unlikely anti-folk 'epics' Giving Up On Love and Our Most Brilliant Friends; songs built on skiffling 'Crickets' rhythms and the lost art of a good middle eight. Throughout the album the twin voices of Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor conspire with an unmistakably youthful vigour, bookended by the deft ballads When I Go and Boys On Their Birthdays, dexterous soliloquies of admission and humour.

These two are more than charming anti-folk troubadours or the lo-fi acoustic end of the Sheffield scene; they are the real thing. That spontaneous intangible 'thing' that comes jumping off records and crackling off the stage, hanging crystalline for fleeting moments to confound and intrigue.
