Circa Waves are a blast! The Liverpudlians rekindle the spirit of The Strokes on their debut, Young Chasers. The four lads play jaunty, catchy three-minute pop songs on guitars – no ’50s slant, no electronic R&B, not the tiniest hint of a psychedelic tribal sacrifice. Snobs will demand this debut album comes plastered with stickers reading ‘Warning: Contains Blatant Strokes And Toxic Levels Of Kook, View And Wombat’. Sniping reviewers will paint their fans as filthy scavengers of the indie landfill, gnawing on the rotting carcass of The Pigeon Detectives. And, for fear of being restrained and incarcerated in some institution for the culturally remedial, nobody will mention how refreshing, fun and free this all sounds. All glam-slamming indie pop angles are covered, with a distinctly contemporary alt-indie panache. Consider this your permission to pogo.
