...according to our Mingus on 31 October 2007.

The Broken Family Band: 'Leaps' / 'Hold on To Your Love' (Track & Field) Have been described as a kind of jangly, Alt Country style pop-folk band. I think they sound more like one of these new fangled combos who do a line in kinda uplifting daytime radio fare that reminds me of The Beautiful South.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

‘Leaps’ is about sexual intercourse. According to the group: “we thought it would be nice to celebrate one of life’s simple pleasures – doing it with your missus. It’s a song which celebrates the glory of having it off in the afternoon, but without being crude”.
The Broken Family Band have been known to play country music, but people change. You’ll notice that this isn’t country music (although it does utilize what The Times’ Steve Jelbert recently described as “the choogle” when referring to the unique pop-rock path that the group have been forging in the past year or so). ‘Leaps’ is pop music played on guitars, and done rather well, which is quite the treat in these mediocre times. There is an accompanying promotional video, directed by the up-and-coming auteur Jonathan Hopkins (whose ‘Goodbye Mr Snuggles’ was a hit at this year’s Sundance) and featuring the band as tiny puppets, as well as a weird looking bloke with a beard, and an attractive lady called Alex Weaver    The B side ‘Hold On To Your Love’ is very good as well, although it’s a bit more serious. According to the group, “we wish this one was on the album as well, in hindsight”.
