Upfront Reviews - 18.06.07: Albums.(Sound recording review)
Annuals
Be He Me (Virgin CDV3035)
A band with a fresh sound and approach to production is quite rare these days. Though Annuals' songs are not massive mould-breakers, their production has so many flourishes and extraneous touches that listening to their album is a pleasure. That notwithstanding, their songs boast the same hooks and melodies of bands like REM, The Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. Ida, My and River Run are a couple of stand-outs on a consistently good album.
Ben's Brother
Beta Male Fairytales (Relentless CDREL14)
Obviously influenced by early Rn'B and Eighties balladry, this band's album opens with debut single Rise, which sounds like Eighties Elton John. The album flows along melodically, and is packed full of soaring choruses and interesting harmonica accompaniments. The single is B- listed on Radio Two.
