Single Review

Broken Records If the News Makes You Sad, Don't Watch It
Young Turks

Article written by Paul M
May 4, 2008.

Being compared with Arcade Fire is inevitable when you produce a sound as full as the debut single from Edinburgh's Broken Records. There are of course similarities; the use of strings, the lovely moist pleading vocals and the fact that there seems to be more other instruments involved than a full blown tune up at the Albert Hall. However for the first two thirds of ITNMYS,DWI, it's delivered at a breakneck pace, like an out of control lorry load of Stradies piling through a brass band. It's only by the time the peaceful dénouement is being delivered that you have time to wallow in its soothing beauty. The b-side is simpler; a haunting acoustic guitar led folk ditty with jagged strings. More hushed, less rushed, but another side of an intriguing (far from broken) record.
