Postal Blue - Road To Happiness EP Review
2 Comments Published by Tom on Thursday, February 23, 2006 at 13:38.
This new EP from the Brazilian indie-pop Postal Blue sees five tracks recorded in 2004 finally getting a release on the Canadian Humblebee Recordings label.
The band are heavily influenced by the late 1980's UK indie scene and opening track The World Doesn't Need You sounds like it was lifted straight from the back catalogue of Sarah Records. It wouldn't have been out of place on last years indie-pop compilation on Rough Trade if the compilers have bothered to broaden their horizons outside of Europe and the states.
The rest of the EP is delivered along the same lines. Twee jangle pop with bittersweet lyrics although i'm not sure what is being sung on Vou Deixar Pra Depois which is the first song they have released in their native Portuguese.
This is a fine collection of songs although we will have to wait and see whether any new recordings emerge. In the meantime the band have covered Josef's Gone for inclusion on the June Brides Tribute album due for release at the end of this month.
