pointer #1 : shy around strangers – never look down

 

 

 

 

debut single from this new york band comprising of emily powers (she of the excellent husky cracked vocals i suspect), saric, and michael dawson.

while its a doesn’t break the mould for originality, i can’t deny i’m loving this slice of cool late 80s john hughes soundtrack styled indie.

suspect i’m the only person that would tie the sound of shy around strangers to a band called tribe, but given that i still listen to their major label release, abort on a regular basis, this is no bad thing,

in other words, radio friendly wide screen guitars-n-keyboards, pumped up bass line, and a cigarette scorched vocal : a winning recipe for me.
