They Say...
Everything's Going to Be OK is the second record by UK indie pop duo Harper Lee, and it's their best yet. Keris Howard (vocals, guitar, and keyboards) and Laura Bridge (guitar, drums, and piano) sound more assured and their songwriting is very strong. Tracks like "Train Not Stopping" and "City Station" sport melodies that are going to stick. The musical backing to their broken-hearted laments is a textbook execution of post-Sarah indie pop, simple chord patterns, gently strummed acoustic guitars, orchestral keyboards, and aching choirboy vocals. The mood, as on their other releases, is unrelentingly melancholic. Howard sings of heartbreak, death, sadness, and other miserable stuff, as the tempo drags along behind him. The last track on the disc is bit of a shocker, as it is an up-tempo almost-rock tune that features fuzzy guitars and almost hopeful lyrics. Harper Lee are a worthwhile exercise in wistful nostalgia.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
