Answers On Postcards – She’s All Mine/It’s That Time Again

• 5th Nov 2008

A slow marching drum-beat leads right into a twirling guitar pronged melody mix, laying out the red carpet for the Little Barrie veined hearty and supple vocals of Lee, to wretch out low-key desperation and a romantic edge,‘She’s All Mine’.

This funky indie strut ignites the age old debate; is it OK to be cheesy if it is delivered with belief and feeling? It is probably a subject that should be left to loftier minds like the new composition of the US Congress to debate?

A more rugged loft finds AA side ‘It’s That Time Again’, reviving memories of those old The Cure songs. You know the ‘Wish’ era ones that you’d swear to your mates that your finger slipped when you put them on repeat, on the jukebox at your local? Answers On Postcards seems to be getting the right recipe to stay true to what they grew upon, whilst not sounds all that stale.
