Info:
Being A Product Of The Age It Was Written, Slow Clubs 2009 Debut, Yeah So, Dealt With The All Too Familiar Space Between Adolescence And The Oncoming Storm Of Adulthood. A Boy-girl Duo Who Played A Flower-adorned Chair Live, They Were The Polar Opposite Of What Was Coming Out Of Post-arctic Monkeys Sheffield. Slow Club Were Fun, Cute, Whimsical And All Manner Of Other Words Just Shy Of Twee - And They Hate Being Called Twee. Paradise, However, Is Where The Duo Grows Up. Two Years On, It Stumbles Out Of A Trivial, Self-indulgent Teenage Malaise (where Sexual Adventure Was Priority For Most) And Carries Itself With A Sense Of Perspective That Only Adulthood Can Give - A Darker, More Thoughtful View Of The World. For Instance, On The Poignant You, Earth Or Ash, A Song About Rebecca Taylor S Granddad, Her Melancholic Vocals (beautiful, As Always) Evoke An Awareness Of Mortality For Those Around Her: Singing -and I Know, Soon You Ll Go,- Her Voice Seemingly Breaks Under The Weight Of Premature Grief. Whereas Even Love-wise (an Inspiration Every Band Draws From) Slow Club S Lyrical Output Is Glossed With A More Mature And Detached Sense Of Sauce, With Taylor Crooning On Where I M Waking: -i Can See You Looking At Me / You Got The Brains I Ve Got The Body-.
