Release Notes:
“I was making music in my bedroom [during my childhood]. My one rule
was not to sound like anyone else.?Judging by his band’s debut album,
lead singer Jonathan Higgs rarely had to send himself to the naughty
step.
For while you might detect an occasional Yeasayer bass noodle or
lei-wearing Vampire Weekend riff, this Manchester quartet flee from any
identikit indie clique, throwing ever-changing, protean sonic shapes.
They career between time signatures, changing keys and genres ?often
within bars, let alone songs ?as they playfully elude categorisation.
Telling of teenage terrorists, war, homicidal lovers and the human
condition, they leap and crackle, Jonathan's voice a frenetic falsetto
bounding like a Labrador on speed, to twisted brass fanfares or
military stomps that challenge you to dance then trip you up. They grow
wistful and sing in sync to a line of Baroque harpsichord (Two for
Nero), or, on Schoolin? drag you through as much terrain (pop,
electro, jazz, funk, prog?and, er, whistling) as the most
self-indulgent of Yes epics ?but without the soporific effect.
Even on the relatively simple QWERTY Finger, which has an innocuous
handclap-and-drums opening, they give us a rushing euphonic mash-up of
scaling synths and chasing vocals, before turning and returning,
pausing midway for an anthemic break, complete with yelping. Yet this
track not only sounds coherent, it‘s glorious ?despite the fact that
here, as on much of Man Alive, the boys seem to be stuck in the surreal
environs of semi-consciousness, where Lewis Carroll is king. It抯 a
place where lyrics such as ”So how will they remember us whole when we
turn into salt / And it's mine, the fault, mine the dream, and the
vein, home of whale-flesh, make soap out of it!?apparently make sense.
Whether they're talking a load of gibber, spewing poetic profundities
or playing auditory jokes (the criminally catchy chorus of Suffragette
Suffragette demands a double take) it doesn‘t really matter; it merely
adds to their quirky brilliance. And it is brilliance. EE are wilfully
eccentric, and endlessly entertaining, but they know more than most how
to craft a song, how to make an album. They know how to give it depth,
light and dark, and they ?crucially ?know when to stop. Give it a
month or two, and the EE wannabes will start to queue up. Luckily for
this band, soundalikes
