If it wasn’t for the fact that the band’s name was at the top of the player, we’d have had no idea that this song, Complete Surrender, was Daniel Radcliffe’s favourite purveyors of rollicking ramshackle indie-acoustic-rock. It’s certainly a long way from songs like Giving Up On Love, but that’s the point isn’t it? We’ve already got that, so another one would be a pointless exercise. A new direction is better than one direction in this case (sorry Harry Styles).
Remember when people called Slow Club twee? Not anymore. This is the sound of a band upping their game, aiming their souls for the sky and building to a string led stratospheric climax. Listen to Rebecca as she 100% sings her socks off in the last minute then get your best glittery dress or jacket and shirt on, because very soon you’ll have your arms outstretched in front and hips wiggling as you practice your best Three Degrees / Four Tops dance routines. If Complete Surrender was a night out on the town, it would be getting its coat by now, because it’s pulled.
