Mozes & the Firstborn – Blow Up
Mozes & the Firstborn - Blow Up
Release Date: Out Now
I have been to Eindhoven, home of
Mozes & the Firstborn, but all I can remember is being terrified by the
shop assistant in a toy shop asking me (in Dutch) if I wanted a carrier bag. I
was a child of nine. Anyway, that is irrelevant to this unless I can find a
link between that experience and this slice of slacker indie-pop from the
Netherlands based quartet. ‘Blow Up’ rolls in to view with a winning smile and
the kind of hair that you only normally see in LA riding on a wave of rolling
basslines and louche drums. Energy wise, this is somewhere between Vampire
Weekend, the Lemonheads and the Stone Roses with the baggiest vibes and gang vocals
in the chorus that are just too sweet to resist. So don’t.
