Sexy Kids / Sisters Are Forever

Slumberland

In the grand tradition of great pop music from Glasgow come Sexy Kids. Featuring three members of the sadly departed Royal We (their "All The Rage" single being one of THE anthems of 2006), Sexy Kids specialize in spiky post-pop with the emphasis on POP. Drawing comparisons to groups like Girls At Our Best and The Raincoats, Sexy Kids tunes never take the most direct route, rather they revel in finding a roundabout path to that killer chorus. Listening to "Sisters Are Forever," the adjectives charming, playful and earnest spring readily to mind. It's a massive tune, with enough drive, energy and smarts to mark it as a future classic. "Drown Me" is more spare, a skeletal jangle hanging on 8th note hi-hats, handclaps and a la-la chorus. Pure magic, and a perfect complement to the punkish pop of "Sisters." This is Sexy Kids' debut single, and on the strength of these two ace tunes we think you'll be eagerly awaiting more from them.  Someone once wrote this: "I don't know. Everything is kind of grossing me out right now but then there's one thing I've found that doesn't. They are friends. They are 3 guitars and one drum kit. They play songs that are fun and poppy but sad too. I heard they play naked but they wear shoes. I know they met in Glasgow but god knows where they are now. Together but apart. This is their first record. Sexy Kids."
