The Young Republic - Girl From The Northern States

The Young Republic make swoonsome pop music. I picked up this 7" recently. Released on End of the Road records. They will be playing the festival of the same name in the UK in September.

Lead song 'Girl From The Northern States' comes over like Belle and Sebastian or Camera Obscura given a slight americana make over. This is sure to be a hit with those that like their indiepop lilting and gentle. Use of orchestration only adds to the grandeur capture within. The closest I have heard to this, this year, has been Glasgow's Butcher Boy. That's lofty company to keep and to my ears The Young Republic deserve to be mentioned in those circles.

Next up is 'Your Heart Belongs in Tennessee'. Another fine piece of pop music. A jaunty song that bounces along. A harmonica solo kicks in mid way through the song giving a clue to the folky roots that The Young Republic have.

'Seeing People You Know' continues in the same vain. Gently strummed guitars and a heavy folk pop leanings are dressed up in a beautifully arranged song. This is a great little single. Go and enjoy it.
