Soft-on-the-ear, harmony-drenched indie pop on new EP from American-based indiepop group Singng Bridges which will appeal to romantics everywhere
Review
It all depends on how miserable and curmudgeonly you are, and your take on girly, charmingly wibbly,on-off-on key vocals and 60's-ish song-writing.
If you're a true romantic, this harmony-drenched,breezily strummed four-song confection will have you smiling as you picture a young Brigitte Bardot freewheeling down a sun-dappled French country lane on her bicycle, blonde locks billowing out behind her.
The heartless misery guts, however, will envision a drippy trainee infant school teacher, staring out of her bedsit window and still yearning over a boyfriend who dumped her three years ago.
We laugh in the face of cynicism, so we're demanding you go for the the former. In between wondering, that is, what mood stabilisers a band needs to be on to make their happy tunes sound so pleasingly wistful and the sad stuff so candyfloss sweet? And can you get them on the internet ?
