* denotes Jamie T dates
From the outset of ‘Yeah So’ 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, book ended 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.
