CD review
VANILLA SWINGERS
Vanilla Swingers ****
Radio Ballads RADBALLCD001, 9.99
The first half of this impressive debut from Miles Jackson and Anne Gilpin threatens to make an art form out of the low key, and a mockery of their novice status. ‘The Town’ is an exquisite study of suburban boredom, locking in to the equally bleak yet beautiful riff-driven ‘Like Straw Dogs’. The momentum builds with ‘The Hive’, the pivotal point in the record’s loose time travel concept. Johny Brown’s lyrics and vocals on ‘The Way She Walked Out The Door’ are a needless blemish. Only available at www.vanilla swingers.com, or through Rough Trade Records
