AMBER LEAVES - SINGLE REVIEW

Amber Leaves - Heaven
Release Date: 20th July 2015
Normally, when a troupe of white
guys rock up professing to play indie funk I would run a mile. Well, not run,
I'm not a runner, but at least amble or mosey at the very least. Fortunately
for London combo Amber Leaves, their new single hit my ears before their press
release hit my eyes. Sure, 'Heaven' starts like an edgy 80s pop hit from Nik
Kershaw but a smooth caramel bass line, itchy guitars and drums with a real
snap to them soon have the reluctant dancers emerging from the shadows. Throw
in some swoony, croony vocals and you suddenly find yourself in between Hot
Chip and Transformer with a tight pair of jeans and shoulders that just won't
stay still. Amber Leaves are one of the more danceable indie bands to have
arrived in my ears for a while and the raunchy guitars of the instrumental
middle eight just seals the deal. Before I know it I'm throwing my panties at Soundcloud
and shrieking like a teenage Beatles fan in a converted 60s cinema. Sexy stuff.
