September Girls Wanting More / Secret Lovers

Tape singles: a rarity in this day and age. Well, here we have one from Irish quintet September Girls who treat us to two sides of sugary Vivian Girls-esque doo-wop pop - complete with rough round the edges production and crusty clumps of tape muck. 'Wanting More' is a breezy pop classic with angelic melodies soaring above the swimming pool reverb guitars and thuggin' floor toms. Flip it and the more contemplative 'Secret Lovers' features the same Haribo-sweet vocal harmonies set against a steady ballad-pop groove and comes of sounding like twenty Julianna Hatfield's singing together in Shangri-Las heaven. Tapes are blue and limited.
