If the Feeling?s slick high-crime pilfering of '70s AOR is missing anything in particular--and they do run a tight operation--then it?s a bit of throttle, a hint of recklessness, if that?s not too much of a contradiction in terms. Enter London-based trio the Hoosiers, who pogo like uncaged kids on Saturday morning TV hooked up to McFlurry drips, dancing to Twelve Stops and Home on fast-forward like everything?s quite normal. Or at least they do for much of the time?-"Clinging on for Life" for instance sidles off into an unusually mellow Nick Drake lay-by. But for the most part The Trick to Life is the work of Electric Light Orchestra and Supertramp half-inched, shaken up and handed to McFly to pop the cork. There is much that feels near-plagiarised. "Goodbye Mr A" has more than a little of ELO?s signature "Mr Blue Sky" to it, "Worried About Ray" recalls the Turtles? "Happy Together" and "Cops and Robbers" isn?t even remotely coy about stealing wholesale from a tune as iconic as the Cure?s unmistakable "The Lovecats". And coming a little closer to home, "Run Rabbit Run" sees singer Irwin Sparkes unfurl a soprano tailor-made for a close impersonation of dreamy indie-poppers the Delays. But if none of that bothers you (or even if it does) the Hoosiers have a super-charged barrel of sugar rushes here that are dangerously immediate and difficult to ignore, sweet tooth or no sweet tooth. --James Berry
内容紹介
2007 debut album that follows the huge UK success of their singles 'Worried About Ray' and 'Goodbye Mr. A'. The Trick to Life is an album filled with upbeat treats, as well as glimpses of a deeper, darker edge. On tracks like 'Run Rabbit Run' and 'A Sadness Runs Through Him', Irwin's soaring, jaw-droopingly powerful vocals lead listeners through a maze of melodic mayhem, with influences ranging from the Cure through to Supertramp, laced with some early Genesis (the bible verse not the band). However, fans of 'Worried About Ray' need fear not, for 'Worst Case Scenario', the somewhat sinister 'Killer', and title track 'The Trick to Life', punctuate the album's uncompromising landscape with literally tens of minutes of rich and compelling music, which will have you bouncing around your bedroom and/or living room. RCA.
