We have been watching Beau and the Arrows (Facebook/Twitter) closely over the last few months after being transfixed with their beautiful and desperate debut Fix, and thumping 0.7.9.3.
And now my favourite of the band’s live repertoire, Levy, is getting a proper release. It seamlessly blends the post-punk elements of their previous releases, with the uplifting promise of a pop record. A song penned to reflect the harsh realities facing the British youth today as their fragile world is left in the smouldering ashes of the excesses of previous generations, Levy stands for the hope of this increasingly lost generation, a desire to be pulled from their disaffection – “Oh, you best pick me up”. Indeed.
