Tango in the Attic must be sick to the bones of hearing themselves dubbed Òthe Scottish Vampire WeekendÓ by now. Sure it’s a handy sound byte – but there’s a whole lot more going on here than Paul Simon guitars and Afro-beats.
For example, ‘Seven Second Stare’ has the pop balls to see them competing with Two Door Cinema Club for the ‘hottest new indie band around’ award, while ‘Sketch By Quentin Blake’ shows an articulacy behind the band’s more obvious jump-on-the-bed enthusiasm.
Songs like ‘Jackanory’ typify the record perfectly: it’s the kind of song we should be hearing on the radio when we get up in the morning, to jump start the day.
It’s entirely possible that Tango in the Attic don’t have much of a budget behind them, and it’s entirely possible that someone, somewhere who’s reading this does. See what I’m getting at here? If you recently inherited a fortune, give these guys a call – together you could be supermassive.
