Never heard of Slow Club before but this UK twosome apparently already released an EP and a couple of singles.
Yeah, so?
Umm well, the band exists of Charles Watson (guitar/vocals) and Rebecca Taylor (vocals / drums / some guitar).
Yeah, so?
Umm okay, the album starts off with “When I Go”, an acoustic affair with great vocal harmonies that could’ve been on the Juno soundtrack. It’s followed by the upbeat “Giving Up On Love” which plastered a smile on my face despite the title. The rest of the album moves between those two formulas as well. One song is just acoustic strumming with soft vocals while other arrangements bring Arcade Fire to mind.
Nothing? Oh, I thought you were gonna say ‘yeah, so?’ again but you’re intrigued now, aren’t you?
“Yeah, So” is a very enchanting album even though this boy and girl never rise above their influences. But is that really necessary in order to make a good album? Listening to extremely charming songs like “It Doesn’t Have To Beautiful” and “Because We’re Dead”, I think the answer is obvious.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
