  • They Say...

    The Tall Boy has an impeccable indie pop pedigree, as main Boy Matty Green was once a member of indie heroes Boyracer. He and his band don't sound too dissimilar to the poppier moments of that group, and they also have a spot of Belle & Sebastian in them. Green has an unschooled and conversational voice that lends an intimate feel to the songs, and the group winningly displays proficiency without professionalism. Overall, the proceedings on their EP Go Forth are very gentle and tuneful, very British and sweet; the seven songs are short and poignant tunes perfect for drinking caffeinated beverages and wondering where it all went wrong (the tender "45s and Books," "Decay," "Go Forth") or, better yet, shaking your fringe at an indie club night ("Outside," "And Back Again," "City Arms"). The only stumble is the lo-fi and skittery "Same Size Girlfriend," but it isn't enough to trip up the Tall Boy. Go Forth is a strong little EP that lovers of indie pop would do well to seek out.
