We Say...
On 2006's Adventures in the Underground Journey to the Stars, London-bred trio South did away with the electronic foundation that made their first two albums — 2001's From Here On In and 2003's With the Tides — ambitious additions to the indie rock canon. Their fourth studio effort, You Are Here, avoids genre-specific labels, coasting on the organic formula of its predecessor. South have yet to repeat themselves sonically; it's with a heavier polish that multi-instrumentalists Joel Cadbury, Jamie McDonald and Brett Shaw perfect another ripe batch of songs.
Produced and mixed by Shaw, You Are Here's warm immediacy arrives with the pearly acoustics of "Wasted" and "Opened Up," both sweeping ballads not unlike South favorites "Motiveless Crime" and "Safety in Numbers." But it's the sinister Britpop jangle of "The Pain" that brings South's simmering playfulness to the forefront, complete with Cadbury's sauntering riffs and crooning purr; "She's Half Crazy," a woozy number dripping in slight funk and Shaw's art-rock warbling, is a solid complement to the majestic flamenco-singed "Lonely Highs." Along with crafting a natural, rich rock sound, South's expressive progression has remained consistent and constant. You Are Here is just the start of it.
