Red Deer Club Recordings release what is definitely the least Red Deer Club record yet in the form of "Small Waves" EP, the debut 7" from Young British Artists.
Bass playing singer Leo and keyboard player Simon are friends from school near Carlisle and met guitarist Sebastian when they were at university together in Leeds. Forming a close friendship over a love of good music they decided that once they'd graduated, rather than get proper jobs, they'd move to Manchester and form a band along with drummer Benjamin, a friend of Sebastian's from growing up just outside Brighton.
References to shoegaze and the 80s new wave and garage scenes are obvious and not unwelcome but Young British Artists' infuences are broader and their ambitions higher. Their songs are intelligent and emotive, unabashedly pop and performed with energy and conviction. A squall of distorted guitars and vocals are urged along by tight drums and airy synths; developing soundscapes ease their way into raunchy three minute pop riffs. Their debut release, recorded at Golden Hum Studios with Dan Lea (By The Fireside), "Small Waves" EP is Young British Artists' first attempt to capture their developing sound.
