White Belt Yellow Tag – Tell Your Friends ( It All Worked Out)

• 12th Jul 2009

An atmospheric piano-and-drums intro ensures things start nicely downbeat on this latest one from the Yorkshire duo, the sulky vocals follow suit before overdriven guitar kicks in and things builds irresistibly to a real peach of a chorus that, delivered with a jerky vigour recalling on-form Maximo Park, but expanding into some stadium-worthy bigness that belies the band’s modest membership. B-side “146 ways” is gentler and simpler, a soothing 90s indie sound countering the first track nicely.

I’d like to hear a little more from White Belt Yellow Tag, if they keep the good tunes coming perhaps we all will.
