The Blue Walrus

Bands to watch: Beau and The Arrows

Beau and the ArrowsSouth London post-punk quartet Beau and The Arrows (Twitter) are releasing their debut single, Fix, today on Happy Release Records, and my what a beauty it is.

A-Side Fix comes thumping in with some tight drums, before the synths and vocal harmonies begin to soar and soothe. There’s an innocent desperation running through, with the song deconstructing into the clarity of “I always crave you…”

..and just in case you were thinking you have heard Fix before then that would be because it was soundtracking the Skins promos last year.

Beau and the Arrows – Fix by beauandthearrows

Over on the B-side is Calming Effects moves away from this desperation into that space of self-assurance and attitude at the end of a relationship. The needs have dissipated but the wounds remain. Wrap that in ethereal synths, delicate guitar, and boy-girls duet vocals before laying it over a driving beat and you have something to shout for.
