First up and I'm loving the music today.. the crazy English winds have blown my ears, hair and cheeks into one lump ontop of my neck and the whole thing is vibrating to the new sounds from Stolen records' TAP TAP. What a wonderful energy packed debut from the Reading outfit. This is brimming with enough joy and inventiveness to lift you from the pit of your bed in these cold mornings. It sounds like a less orchestrated Arcade Fire, a more energetic Syd Barrett, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and it totally has got me dancing. It's raw,fresh music with hand claps and reverby drums underpinning the extensive use of various instruments with driven vocals. At times it's intense with fast jangly guitars and haunting melodies that crash away creating a masterclass in energy driven melody led tunesmith. Its not without its delicate moments either with the final song pulling you like a sad Gary Numan. Can I be anymore persuasive? erm... but if you like any of the aforementioned artists or if you want to hear a debut album that's going to grow and grow throughout the year.... you got the Maggie guarantee!!!tracklist: 1. 100,000 thoughts 2. she doesnt belong 3.to our continuing friendship 4. here cometh 5.
