Poppiness


This isn’t really part of the “brief” here either but this new single makes me so damn happy I could skip, and Lord knows I’ve needed things to make me smile lately. Poppy and The Jezebels aren’t some manufactured pretty pop puppets but a proper band who sound like an indie Bananarama produced by Joe Meek. It’s enough to restore your faith in pop music.

If you’re thinking “Christ, I must be getting old because they look young enough to still be at school” — you’re not because they are. All four of them go to a Comprehensive in Birmingham but they’ve already released several singles and a mini-album. Kids today, eh?

As a bonus here’s a rather lovely acoustic version of the same song.

    The video was sweet, nice track the sort of stuff I sued to adore before I got old and bitter!
    I love the tambourine player at the back she really is trying to look 'popstar'
