Sometimes life’s mundanities get in the way of being a grown-up. Sometimes it’s hard to decide whether to even be a grown-up, with all it entails - suits, houses and 4 x 4s. Pocketbooks playfully approach the subject, tousle its hair and take it on a tube journey in their charming debut single Cross the Line, a self-questioning internal dialogue tinkered out across delicious boy/girl harmonies and an irresistible tambourine beat. They have a lovely knack of transforming the workaday into the heroic - B side Every Good Time We Ever Had defies an ex’s accusations of forgetfulness with a list of closely scrutinised memories buoyed up on a dramatic, ascending piano line. Pocketbooks are the best kept secret of the thriving London indiepop scene right now – see them while you can.Cross the Line is released on 7" vinyl on Atomic Beat Records on May 14, 2007 and is also available to download at 7digital indiestore.
To mark the release of the single, Pocketbooks are playing a free PopArt show at the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes in London on Sunday 13 May.
