Single Review

Attack + Defend Owl EP
Boobytrap

Article written by Ged M
Feb 12, 2006.

Most times PR sheets are a tissue of hype, exaggeration and, sometimes, downright lies. But to describe this music as “country-tinged electro in the indie-disco mould” is an eight-word nail/head interface. ‘More’, a song about mass consumption, is the electro bit of that description, coming on like a poppy Bravery. It’s original and dynamic for the first two minutes, which is unfortunate for a three and a half minute song, and it ends with too many keyboards. However ‘Don’t Play With Gypsies in the Woods’ rescues the EP; as a band from Hay-on-Wye, the rural influences kick in but not too much: flutes toot but synths prevent it getting too rustic. ‘Posh It Up’ is insistent indie-disco, and the conversational chatter on ‘Dreamfit’, about “being so happy you could burst” sounds like the Nightingales. It’s all loose, lo-fi and a touch shambling but with plenty of potential, if they can bring together their currently separate influences into their own single sound.
