With rasping electrics from Scott Paterson including howling, spine tingling riffs with a deeply rooted dark familiarity and some jangly melancholic action to boot, throbbing drums and incandescent harmonies along side the vocals of Adele Bethel signal the arrival of Sons & Daughters single ‘Gilt Complex’. Making a bold attempt at the bands first steps towards an album with chartable staying power, attempts made here are a step in the right direction from the material of ‘The Repulsion Box’.
Bethel, a cross between Sohodolls Maya von Doll and 80’s Altered Images lead singer Clare Grogan vocalises car-crash celebrity culture to the masses in a whirlwind or grit and determination making the supposed Queen of Folk KT Tunstall look about as interesting as a toaster.
