You will hear The Moats on the current Listening To This Week, second song in with the splendid Find Someone Who Cares. The resulting 7 track album continues the joy. The Brighton quartet sound like a crack 80s Indie band, but certainly not an everyday one.
There is plenty of great Jangle Pop on display, Glasgow related TFC and Dropkick at times, but there are also West Coast influences such as The Byrds when the pace lets up and a Paisley Park and IRS label feel at other times.
The pacy I Want To shows that you can Jangle, yet Rock, something too few bands try and the slight Fuzz and energy makes the song an absolute joy to listen to. Lead Hat is very Three O'Clock like, yet Stupid Things is laid back is very San Franciscan jangle.
Internal Logic runs Find Someone who cares really close. More gentle Psych Pop than what else is on show, but this is in contrast to Diamond Ring which is very C86 and beautifully put together as the whole album is.
Pleased To Meet You is Jangle heaven, but what it does is show that there are many forms of the genre. It doesn't have to be sedate, enjoy quietly stuff. There is tons of energy here and variation that make the album a great listen.
You can listen to and buy the album here. You can buy the cassette here.
