track offering that delves
into more genres than a confused teenager. The confrontational
opener; ‘Fight’ is this years equivalent to ‘Kissy
Kissy’ by The Kills, with thumping percussion and whining
guitars Adele provides the aggressive P.J. Harvey come V.V.
Kills touch, as Scott chips in with his laid back yet strong
folk tinged style often reiterating Adsele’s lines
to reinforce their at times, mystical importance;
“You can look inside, you can
look inside; this common curse, this common curse.
The lines are drawn, the lines are drawn. This is getting
worse.”
Adele then shows her softer side in the
ballad ‘Broken Bones’ in which her crisp and
heartfelt vocals caress the mind of the listener, in a provocative
pearl of a song. When Scott takes on the main vocal duties
in ‘Johnny Cash’, his raw and compelling style
as though he is disclosing a valued secret, will bring into
the mind memories of The Proclaimers. Sons & Daughters
are as rich and diverse as modern society and with their
undoubted chemistry; they could ensure that Franz Ferdinand
will be supporting them in more ways than mere friendly advice
in the not so distant future.
