Release Notes:
This is the first release on Trev from Lost Music's new label, and it's
a particularly perky way to start. The Kick Inside make a very spikey,
sophisticated pop noise, and Oh, Vanity, whilst suffering from an
overlong, somewhat clumsy middle eight still manages to charm the pants
of you by time it fades away.
Meanwhile, It's Always the Quiet Ones sounds a bit like Duran Duran.
Honestly. There's something very early 80s Top of the Pops about it.
All it needs is brass. That's not something to be ashamed of, of
course. Could it be Haircut 100 I'm hearing through the deliberately
stripped-back production? Whatever - there are far worse ways in which
to launch a new label. And whilst maybe The Kick Inside won't quite win
you over just yet with this single, there's enough here to keep you
interested.
