Pick of the Week 17 - Evans the Death
This is a bit of jangley, post Morrissey fun. Enough said really, but add to that a video that showcases five sallow and lacklustre teenagers wandering aimlessly through a field of oil seed rape and you've got something special on your hands. There's not the hint of a smile in any of them and you get the feeling that if they laughed their faces might crack, but I guess they must be 'cool'. Best of all they have a fully fledged, out of the closet ginger member in the band and that can never be a bad thing. To be honest whatever they sounded like I'd say they were great just because of the ginger factor, but this is actually a cracking track that evokes memories of early Smiths sessions and doesn't out-stay its welcome. Go ferret out more of their songs and you won't be disappointed.
The ginger looks a bit unbalanced to me. Either cut off that big clump on the right or, preferably, grow the left to look the same. Luscious.
