| Whales In Cubicles - All The Pretty Flowers |
Release Date: 3rd February 2014
Picture the scene: a lo-fi
American teen romp with Michael Cera in it has just finished and before the
credits roll up, our protagonist has to walk off in to an understated sunset
(or maybe ride a skateboard) in a faded brown hoodie and converse trainers. The
tune that soundtracks that scene is 'All The Pretty Flowers' by London combo
Whales In Cubicles. This precursor to their imminent debut album is a plodding,
slacker anthem with bursts of chiming guitars and a voice that you could go
surfing on. There's a 90s, Westcoast vibe that I can't help but be drawn to as
that Beach Boys meets a sulky Nirvana sound just washes over me and crashes in
to my memories of teenage musical discovery. The album comes out just a week
after this single and there's a tour going on too so you've every chance to
fall in love. I already have.
