    UNCUT - 4/5 NMe 9/10 Mojo 4/5 for their debut


    LIVE REVIEW - LONDON - Bush Hall London Times

    My Latest Novel make a bigger sound than you’d expect to look at them. The five of them, four boys on guitar and drums and a girl with a violin, combine into a post-rock chamber orchestra, building dense songs with marching-band drum rhythms and chanted vocal harmonies, then stripping them back to one voice and drums, or guitars and xylophone. Their quiet/loud dynamics and waves of sound evoke A Silver Mount Zion or Mogwai, but with the pop sensibilities of Sufjan Stevens or Arcade Fire. Songs about daytrips to the seaside, and sleeping with your friend “but no, not like that – that would spoil everything” are on the twee side, sounding a bit like Looper or the Delgados, especially when they add speaking voices as well as singing. In my kitten-kicking mood I'm momentarily irritated, but by the end of their set I’ve become so drawn into their baroque, euphoric music that I’ve completely forgotten myself and my rubbish day.
