EP Review: Tim And Sam’s Tim And The Sam Band With Tim And Sam – Put Your Slippers On EP (Full Of Joy Records)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 24 November 2008
Tim And Sam’s Tim And The Sam Band With Tim And Sam (try saying that five times over after a pint or two) are, in their own words, a band who create lovely sounds with as many instruments as they can get their sweet little mitts on. Guitars, glockenspiels, flutes, harmoniums – you name it, they’ve played it – and it’s their instrumental and (almost) no-vocal approach that makes their sound so charmingly rare. Their latest release, four-track EP ‘Put Your Slippers On’, is everything you would expect from such a title: cosy, warm and endearingly quirky. The Margot & The Nuclear So And So’s-esque ‘Stepping Stones’ is a beautiful acoustic highlight, although truthfully every song is a joy. Composed by a patchwork orchestra of eclectic instruments and tied together in the band’s indie-inclined roots, ‘Put Your Slippers On’ is pretty, magical and rich; an emblem of DIY chamber-pop delight.
