After their excellent performance at our Lost Music Presents gig last night I thought I would repost my original article about The Social Services which was written in March of this year.
I have been listening to The Social Services over the past couple of days. The band are two thirds Scottish and one third Swedish.
The band make the sort of music that should really see them get signed up by the likes of Stereo Test Kit Records. I can really see their music nestling next to Audrey, Dear Euphoria and We Are Soldiers We Have Guns for instance.
Their sound, like those bands mentioned, is very melodramatic with hints of drama and melancholy. I have been streaming their six songs over the past couple of days and I really like The Baltic Sea and Up In Arms which remind me of a poppier Electrelane. The songs here are very well thought out and come tightly wrapped with some rather fine melodies. There are even hints of the old music halls in how the songs are arranged and sung. Clever stuff - go and have a listen or I will report you to the Social Services.
Funny enough the bands début album It's Nothing Personal, It's National Security will now be released on Stereo Test Kit Records in September.
