A Great Pop Sensation
Tim says: "it's a little bit country. It's a little bit rock n roll. But we all know it's not hillbilly wishwash sheeeite. So R4" I say it's like Joe Strummer if he were featuring in The Kooks. Liam Frost's voice comes as a slightly slurred yet debonair force at the start of 'The City Is At Standstill', a song that rampantly clicks its beat; a beat to which soft indie guitars are tied, a little bumping bass and these sumptuous vocals that grip ya...
But not only that, stings galore and choral backing vocals too. Liam Frost and The Slowdown Family have created something really quite diverse and different here, a song that goes from here to there, back again and around about in between, it's full of parts that have quite stunning arrangements, but at its heart it's just a great pop song, and what can beat a great pop song? Nuff said.
