A duo of Henrique Laurindo and Lulu Grave, Ta
mborines have just released an awesome double-A single. This manages to encapsulate the best of more than a quarter of a century of twee pop. Spare six minutes of your life to listen to this – you’ll want to hear it.
This is a review I wrote of the single:
“This double-a side has all the trademarks of classic c86 twee-pop. ‘Black and Blue’ is a quick but dreamy thrash-a-long that you can lose (or find) yourself in. ‘Indian Blue’ is a slower, female sung song that breaks your heart form
its’ very first play.Two very different but brilliant songs that give insight into the band, and hold their own with the stars of classic and contemporary indie-pop just brilliantly.”
****1/2
Now go and listen -and then go and buy it.
