From the outset there is something immediately familiar and yet vitally inventive about English boy/girl duo, Slow Club; the riotous rallying calls of _x0018_ Because We_x0019_ re Dead_x0019_ and _x0018_ Dance _x0018_ Til The Morning Light_x0019_ , the unlikely anti-folk _x0018_ epics_x0019_ _x0018_ Giving Up On Love_x0019_ and _x0018_ Our Most Brilliant Friends_x0019_ ; songs built on skiffling _x0018_ Crickets_x0019_ 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 _x0018_ When I Go_x0019_ and _x0018_ Boys On Their Birthdays_x0019_ , dexterous soliloquies of admission and humour. A string of single releases on their UK label home Moshi Moshi, and crucial development time on the live circuit has made Slow Club an irresistible prospect. Live as on record, Charles and Rebecca enrapture audiences with the same involuntary joy and simplistic rush that they themselves imbue. Their highly developed partnership delivering sweet harmonious hooks, rockabilly beats and exuberant yelps and yips, that spill out across the album. Dont miss the band in their debut Adelaide show!
