Glasgow art-rock slackers THE ROYAL WE make their debut on Geographic with this stylophonic hand-clapper.
Rapid-fire vocal delivery rhymes with the nursery as the stick-tapping surfer harmonies blend with bubblegum sensibilities. Yet conspiratorial laughter at the beginning seems to confirm this as a piss-take before we've started - despite the tight display of percussion.
What’s throwaway about this record is also where the six-piece play to their strengths (simplistic sentiment and breezy sunshine melodies), but both this and the the twin-vocal, military driven flip-side, ‘L’Enfant….’ play safely into the hands of what is..ahem, a long established style, shall we say?
Perhaps this should bring me nicely to the single's title?
If one hears another band get favourably compared to Belle & Sebastian, right?
