Album Review: Slow Club – Yeah So? (Moshi Moshi)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 6 July 2009
At last! Sheffield-based boy/girl duo Slow Club have put together their debut album to showcase their kind of sweet British folk-pop only toyed with before on a couple of a singles and one joyful EP. Now fully fleshed out over 12 songs, 45 minutes and, despite the album’s apathetic title, countless moments that will make you smile, their unpretentious music harks back to England’s green and pleasant hills via Woody Guthrie’s dusty midwest and Belle And Sebastian’s co-ed summer camp, resulting in an unforgettable sound. Amongst the highlights on this consistently good album there’s the picked pleasure of ‘Dance Till The Morning Light’, the pure jaunt of ‘Trophy Room’ and the storming wagon train of ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be Beautiful’, all of which showcase a talent that, while unlikely to crack the charts, will certainly find itself a more refined audience that cares more for quality than crowds. Yes please for ‘Yeah So?’. TM
