Sheffield two-piece Slow Club first started performing during the giddy heights of 2007's twee-folk boom. Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor, described by the Guardian as the "English take on the White Stripes", were the jangle pop and rockabilly duo beating drums, wearing gingham and making plans to usurp Noah and the Whale as the UK's best loved nu-folk band. | |
Complete Surrender, however, finds Watson and Taylor indulging in more bold and melodramatic styles than before. If Taylor's pop-powerhouse beehive didn't give away the game, then you might be tipped off by the influence of 60s and 70s songcraft, with its haunting romance – such as Frankie Valli and Marvin Gaye (not to mention the angsty innocence of Taylor Swift). A soaring account of bruised hearts and tear-soaked pillows, it's a sound perhaps enhanced by producer and Richard Hawley wingman Colin Elliot. | |
