...according to our Business Lady on 25 June 2009.

Slow Club are gonna release their debut album soon, it's called 'Yeah, So' and this is a little taster of what to expect. 'It doesn't have to be beautiful' sees the group monkeying around with a skiffle style Rockabilly tune whilst still sounding like a folk pop group. It's a big sounding number full of vigor and confidence with an excellent vocal. B-side 'Wild blue milk' is a demo recording so it's a little short on sheen but it's still a great track, maybe better than the A-side. A folksy sing-a-long with a simple and effective backing track. Aceness from these Sheffield Home boys!! Observe....enjoy.

What their label says...

With their eagerly anticipated debut album just around the corner, Slow Club release new single It Doesn’t Have To Be Beautiful, on 22nd June on Moshi Moshi.
Building from a skiffling rockabilly guitar to an unlikely crescendo of ‘arena-anti-folk’, It Doesn’t Have To Be Beautiful is the epitome of Slow Club’s exultant lovelorn duets.
Their debut album Yeah, So is a much longed-for debut from an already much loved duo, released on Moshi Moshi 6th July. As with Slow Clubs early singles, Yeah So was recorded almost entirely within the bosom of their hometown Sheffield, with Richard Hawley’s long term live and studio engineer Mike Timm at controls.
From the outset there is something immediately familiar and yet vitally inventive about Slow Club, defined by their own distinct and powerful partnership.  Charles with bruised vocal, rasping guitar and disarming lightness of touch; Rebecca with her dash of Northern Soul and sharp wit, playing stand up drums amid a wild array of percussive apparatus.
The riotous rallying calls of Because We’re Dead and Dance ‘Til The Morning Light, the anti-folk ‘epics’ Giving Up On Love and Our Most Brilliant Friends; songs built on skiffling ‘Crickets’ rhythms and the lost art of a good middle eight. Throughout the album the twin voices of Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor conspire with an unmistakably youthful vigour, bookended by the deft ballads When I Go and Boys On Their Birthdays, dexterous soliloquies of admission and humour.
A string of single releases on their label home Moshi Moshi, and crucial development time on the live circuit has made Slow Club an irresistible prospect. Live as on record, Charles and Rebecca enrapture audiences with the same involuntary joy and simplistic rush that they themselves imbue. Their highly developed partnership delivering sweet harmonious hooks, rockabilly beats and exuberant yelps and yips, that spill out across the album.
