Simon Lunt discovers toe-tapping upbeat tunes on the five-piece indie pop band’s new EP
Five-piece indie pop outfit Park View don’t hang about, as the two opening numbers – That Feeling and Lights – dive straight in, with the later in particular triggering toe-tapping muscle memory from the noughties.
Sleeping On Your Feet showcases a different side to the band with an acoustic, lugubrious song providing some light and shade in this otherwise upbeat five-track EP. Call It Fate draws upon some classic rock guitar work and has hints of Embrace, thanks to a deliberately clean production demonstrating the tightness of the band.
Final track Pretty Sounds is ideally named as it sums up what is a very pleasant journey, which will have you inspired to revisit old favourites such The Wombats, Interpol and perhaps as far back as Travis.
