The Victorian English Gentlemans Club – ‘Impossible Sightings Over Shelton’ (Fantastic Plastic) Released 25/09/06

It’s all very commendable to learn from the masters and everything but ‘Impossible Sightings Over Shelton’ doesn’t half sound like  a homage to the Pixies (especially ‘Debaser’). There’s a very similar thrusting guitar riff at the beginning and Emma Daman and Louise Mason provide decidedly Kim Deal type backing vocals. The frenetic, yet slow (if that’s possible) result isn't a bad listen, and the exceedingly long windedly named band seem to be heading in the right direction, but they're just short of blowing you away.
