| Shirley Said - Salvation/Merry Go-Round |
Release Date: 23rd March 2015
What is in a name? London duo
Shirley Said have chosen a fairly odd moniker for their musical endeavours but
when you consider the likes of Everything But The Girl and Tom Tom Club as band
names then perhaps it's not that strange after all. The first of these two
A-sides is 'Salvation' which opens with descending synths sounding like water
down a window on a wet, grey Sunday afternoon. However, once the guitars and
subdued vocals join in there is a fresh vibe that is somewhere between the
blissed out classicism of the Beach Boys and the trippy, chill out vibes of
Portishead or Swim Deep. 'Merry Go-Round' is the other track of the two on this
single and it creaks and grinds in to action before the hypnotic vocals and
pulsating beat kicks things up a notch. There is a strangely hypnotic and
alluring element to the music of Shirley Said which, although coming from a
largely electronic source, has a pleasingly organic feel. Worth keeping an eye
and an ear on.
