Boy-Girl vocals cast from fore to aft, rallies of skiffling beat, a delicate turn and rousing chorus; the ebullient delights of Slow Club. With a brace of acclaimed singles under their belts and an eagerly anticipated album on the way, Slow Club release the 'Lets Fall Back In Love EP' on September 1st on Moshi Moshi.

For those familiar with the Sheffield duo the startling depth and colour of this EP will come as no surprise, for the rest here lies a treat. The sing-along stomp 'Lets Fall Back In Love', the galloping clarion call 'Come on Youth' and the epic arena-anti-folk of 'Summer Shakedown' arrive as three widescreen vistas, punctuated by Charles> country fried 'Dance To The Morning Light', and Rebeccas ode to hanging on 'Trick Question', two dexterous soliloquies of admission and humour. Live as on record, Charles and Rebecca enrapture audiences with the same involuntary joy and simplistic rush that they themselves imbue. Charles with bruised vocal, a rasping guitar and disarming lightness of touch, casts unlikely wit against Rebeccas angelic vocal and cheeky turn of phrase, amid her wild array of percussive apparatus including wooden chairs, glass bottles, and spoons.

These two are more than charming anti-folk troubadours or the lo-fi acoustic end of the Sheffield scene; they are the real thing. That spontaneous intangible thing that comes jumping of records and crackling off the stage, hanging crystalline for fleeting moments to confound and intrigue.

What the critics say:

"More than folking troubadours, Slow Club are a revelation." NME

"A sing-along thats both swoonsome and sinister" SUNDAY TIMES

"Songs like boisterous picture books, all quick smart answers and coy retorts. There's an idiosyncrasy to their observational lyrics thats sets them apart." STOOL PIGEON

"They have more passion and creativity in one song than many others do in a whole album." ARTROCKER

"Not something you get to see and hear everyday. Dont miss them." INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
