The Lottery Winners – Young Love (Sire/Warner Brothers)
 |
| The Lottery Winners - Young Love |
Release Date: Out Now
I’m sure I’ve used this story but
I’m so chuffed for these guys that I’m going to use it again. The first time I
heard these guys play I was setting up to DJ at a friend’s wedding in Halifax
and they were whipping through the tightest set of covers I’ve ever heard. Now,
years later, they’ve just signed to Warner Brothers imprint Sire and all that
hard work and relentless pub gigging around the Northwest of the UK has paid
off. This latest release is, I guess, a celebratory anthem of this new found
success so dive in to ‘Young Love’ with all the carefree abandon of someone who
has just realised their dreams. Starting out like something from Paul Simon’s ‘Graceland’
era, this soon slips in to the band’s trademark slick indie-pop with a sugary
tinge. There is a touch of the Magic Numbers or the Beautiful South about these
guys but with way more confidence and hooks aplenty so it’s no surprise they’ve
been snapped up by a major with the potential to make something of their song writing
ability as well as their songs. Expect big things of the Lottery Winners even
if it’s through some sort of ‘Valerie’ style hit like the Zutons had via
Winehouse or, better still, on their own terms.
