The Brights are not the most prolific of bands when it comes to single releases. It Won't Be Long Now (that must be a pun surely?) is the follow up to 2004's Girl in a Bric-a-Brac Shop. However to be fair they have released two singles in Japan during that time, a country where they seem to be very popular judging by their tour schedule in June!I can see why the Japanese may go for the band as they look and sound very nostalgic from their mod appearance to the 1960's inspired tunes which glisten all over the place. All what is missing is a red telephone box or a routemaster bus on the cover and that would wrap it up nicely. Both songs are charming with jangling guitars coupled with the unique vocals of David Burgess which gives them an edge over some of their contemporaries. It reminds me very much of those other indie popsters The Sequins. Pleasant retro indie pop which is unlikely to cause offence to anyone's ears
It Won't Be Long Now is out now on Bitterscene Records on 7" vinyl and download formats.
