SISTERLAND
Ask anyone of a certain age about guitar music from the nineties, and chances are you'll be treated to a sermon on the merits of Britpop. But before cool Britannia, before Oasis V Blur and 100 sound-a-likes came along, guitar music was quite different. It was much less replete with cockiness and 'look at me' sensibilities and much more focused on soft, fuzzy, lo-fi riffs, ground out and awash with reverb.
It is this kind of DIY fuzziness that Leicester based trio, Sisterland have recreated on their Dirty White EP. To imply it is nothing more than an affectionate jaunt down memory lane is unfair howeve. The incessant pounding drums and swirling, shoe-gazey vocals inspire more than just nostalgia and a yearning for Doc Martin boots and tie-dyed shirts.
It's a pacy little thing, the four tracks clocking in at little more than 12 minutes in total and title track, "Dirty White" (which ironically is the most sedate of all) blends in a very modern pop influence and great hook. "Bunny Ears" is the Road Runner track, whipping past at breakneck speed in a thunderclash of drums and bass while closer, "Milk & Honey" swoops down and scoops you up onto a cloud of reverb.
