| Pau - Paupulism EP |
Pau are a quartet from Hamburg
which is confusing me as I once spent a freezing weekend in Hamburg but have
also spent some sunny times in the French town of Pau. What temperature should
I listen to this music at? Tricky. Either way, this three track EP kicks off
with 'Class Will Show' which is a gently bouncing piece of indie fun somewhere
between Dutch Uncles and Soulwax but with a particularly Germanic feel. The
growl of the bass that introduces 'In The Flashlight' is soothed by the keys
and calm, Teutonic vocals before the Young Knives-esque guitars chime in for a
piece of the action. 'Runner' completes proceedings with a dark, moody vibe and
some fantastic, Kraftwerk style key sounds. There aren't really any stadium
anthems here but I don't think that's what Pau were going for as they've
created an EP that will go down a storm with indie purists and, I predict,
would be particularly popular in Manchester. Prove me wrong, why don't you...
