My Sad Captains - Bad Decisions CDSingle (Fortuna Pop!/2007)



My Sad Captains are making inroads into the mainstream consciousness, but they're doing it with little in the way of condescension, keeping a sharp kind of pop virtue . Their ultra-melodic debut single is the sound of a perfect summer, all hooks, harmonies and handclaps. Ed Wallis' vocals mesh perfectly with Cathy Lucas' voice in a pop confection that combines the bright jangle of the Go-Betweens and the dark majesty of the Silver Jews. They spoil you with their flipside too (any less talented band would have put these out as separate A sides). 'Here And Elsewhere' is slower but just as gorgeously harmonic as the top side, containing all the pop nous of a band like Sparklehorse (who they've just covered for a forthcoming tribute album). As I write this, my lunchtime drink sums them up perfectly: naturally sparkling.
