Tom And Olly - City Stars

Reviewed by AmyR | 03/02/2008 - 10:21PM

Boasting a unique talent, and love of the experimental, Tom + Olly have incorporated a range of techniques to create a stunning sound that shows brilliant potential, all in such a short space of time. The 15 minute CD can be compared to nothing I've ever heard, embracing a mixture of rap and acoustic; throwing in a perfectly fitting cello piece during the breakdown in 'City Stars'. Whereas, the song 'Love At The Disco' may sound like an Artic Monkeys parody initially, but the simple use of handclaps brings out a wonderfully contagious beat within a song that uses strong vocals, harmonies, and a brilliant rap piece towards the end.

These two young men have worked wonderfully together to create an intricate sound using the simplest instruments - and even objects such as a wooden box to create a deep drumbeat. Now all this duo has to do is follow their potential.
