Bristol's Brilliant Corners are capable of the most joyous of
pop sounds - bright, ringing guitars skipping through a mix of
peppy drums, tight bass, trumpet and piano. By the same token,
the group is also capable of the most depressing lyrics. Like
Morrissey, singer/songwriter Davey Woodward has curious
preoccupations - with death and dying and lost and unrequited
loves. The Brilliant Corners' music is beyond reproach, but
Woodward is one miserable boy.
Growing Up Absurd, while not as striking as it might have
been, sets the course for the quintet's releases - bouncy pop
with the unusual novelty of a fulltime trumpeter. The Fruit
Machine EP sparkles with invention: piercing guitar lines,
nimble trumpeting and keyboards make "Meet Me on Tuesdays" and
"Jim's Room" the best of these four tracks.
"Everything I Ever Wanted" is a compilation of Growing Up
Absurd and Fruit Machine.
