Straight ahead Power Pop from Austin Texas quartet, The Let Down. I have to admit that with all the noisier variations of late, it is nice to hear something that is more classic. All pre-requisites are present, Riffs, great middle 8 and a chorus to sing along to.
The EP does sound very UK New Wave. On A String has a riff that reminds you of Another Girl, Another Planet. Awake has a great stomp that edges towards Glam Rock, splendidly slow and the laidback vocals on both is a reminder of 70s Pop Rock.
Part Of Me is again close to UK Glam Rock, with a Power Pop drum track and made me think of The Rollers, the post Bay City sound. Don't Make Me The One gets closer to the Power Pop Revival of the 90s and is built around a killer riff/
The EP is a reminder of the joy of Power Pop, Guitar Pop that reminds you of the summer with a feel good factor. You don't hear so much of this these days and I denigrated it a little when everyone was doing the same thing. But it is lovely to hear it back and this is a cracking little offering.
You can listen to and buy the EP here.
