Me and the Moon – Standing Still (My Little Empire Records)
 |
| Me and the Moon - Standing Still |
Release Date: Out Now
Every now and again I get quite
sad about Ellie Goulding. I mean, she was this great white hope of British
indie-pop who was authentic and didn’t use her body to shift units and then she
started doing Shampoo adverts and it all went to hell via a predictable route.
I raise this now because of trio Me and the Moon and their new single ‘Standing
Still’ is perhaps the direction that Goulding could have taken and then I
wouldn’t be quite so sad. This is barely two minutes long but the band fit in
folk eccentricity, pop energy and a sense of optimism that you normally get
during the first few weeks of a new relationship when you still make an effort
with your clothes and personal hygiene. The beat pings, the guitars are perky
and the vocals of Tamara-Jane make this all sound like Sarah Cracknell guesting
on a Dutch Uncles track which, for my money, is pretty gorgeous.
