Rough around the edges indie-pop is relatively easy to do a decent job of, but it’s rarely all that special. This energetic debut isn’t perfect, but it has several staggering moments of pure musical euphoria and we should all have a little room in our lives for that. Roxanne Clifford and James Hoare’s splendidly underplayed duets will creep up on you slowly but surely and the delicious harmonies on ‘Misery’ are, perversely, actually rather cheery. Given time, it’s enjoyably addictive.
