What’s shocking about the Durham siblings’ band isn’t that their youngest member is still a teenager, but the fact that they’re still on only their second album. Festival stalwarts and vintage sonics trailblazers, their no-fuss rhythm and blues has little truck with reinventing the wheel and fizzes with the simple joy of creation.
The soft swagger of ‘Don’t Make A Fool Out Of Me’ sets a modest melody against an undeniable groove, and ‘You’ll Soon Be Here’ radiates with the warmth of a junk store 78. Oddly, ‘Messing With My Life’ sounds like The Kooks filtered through a bebopping Ella Fitzgerald and – even odder – is bloody great.
