One of my very favourite periods of music was that of the indie scene of the late eighties. So many incredible bands, and the great thing about Silk Daisys is that they are well and truly bringing it all back home. And then some.
‘It’s A Laugh‘ opens proceedings like if The Darling Buds and Lush had formed a kind of supergroup and roped Johnny Marr in on guitar. Then on ‘Kiss Me Like You Mean It’, they’ve swapped out the Smiths man for Will Sergeant and moved closer to the sound of Curve instead. To say this is a strong start is quite feasibly the understatement of the century. Aural ecstasy and nectar for the soul.
