April Towers – Takes One To Know One
April Towers - Takes One To Know One |
Release Date: 26th June 2017
I like April Towers as a name but
Nottingham duo could have gone for Burley and Noble which sounds way more
formal. Then again, Charles Burley and Alexander Noble (for they are April
Towers) may not have been going for formal or that village solicitor vibe.
Whatever their intention, new single ‘Takes One To Know One’ is a jerky
guitared piece of joyousness that reminds me of Arctic Monkeys in their early
days being remixed by Hot Chip playing with a box of new beats. Oh but then the
chorus drops and we’re air lifted in to an 80s pop romp with Calvin Harris
production values and the kind of vibe that needs tanned men in sports cars to
be blasting this out while they cruise down the Westcoast highway. Classy
indie-pop, then, with time taken to craft a catchy melody and place each note
precisely like stars in a night sky. Lush.
