Release Notes:
Is it possible to sound like youÆre having more fun
than The Go! Team? Probably not, going on Proof of
Youth, the second album from BrightonÆs brightest
pop experimentalists. As on its predecessor, 2004Æs
Thunder, Lightning, Strike, the eleven songs of
Proof of Youth burst out your speakers like tangy
pop bubblegum, but on closer inspection, suggest a
broader, braver web of influences; many bands can
remind you of the chirpy soul singalongs of The
Jackson 5, the metallic guitar clang of Sonic Youth,
or the cut-and-paste sonic collages of Public
EnemyÆs The Bomb Squad, but only one can do it in a
single song. "Grip Like a Vice" and "Titanic
Vandalism" prove The Go! Team template is present
and correct, joyful melanges of car-chase horns,
double dutch vocals, melodic guitar, and
crowd-hyping rapping from MC/cheerleader Ninja. But
thereÆs more here than formula. "My World" is a
simple, pretty interlude of acoustic guitar, shaker,
and synthesiser straight from some Look Around
You-style 1980s science show, "I Never Needed It Now
So Much" is a na∩ve pop song featuring vocals from
Solex, and the glorious "Flashlight Fight" is a
Public Enemy pastiche that actually features Chuck
D. Skill.
