02.08.2024-MARTHAS & ARTHURS The Hit World Of... (I Go Die For You,2012)

 

FOLK ROCK

   The band has garnered more than a few comparisons to the Mamas & the Papas, in part due to their retro presentation but more a result of their beautiful boy-girl vocal harmonies. These are best displayed in “Barberosophy”, a nearly a capella song— chirping birds are the only sound beyond their voices— sung in round, building to a powerful crescendo. The comical “Who Will Marry Me?” begins “sitting on the loo/thinking of the things you wish you had the balls to do”, and heads into a chorus packed with surreal imagery, from fish-filled trees to primates flying aeroplanes. The album’s topped off by a brilliant cover of The Stone Roses’ “Shoot You Down”, which transforms the original song’s smug bite into a gorgeous ’60s AM radio soft rock number, complete with a rhythm section of snapping fingers.
