If you are like me, you wake up some mornings thinking only of pumping up with some tunes from Liverpool's Hooton Tennis Club, and scoring some chocolate. Well, today is our lucky day because Hooton Tennis Club is releasing a Big Box Of Chocolates. Satisfaction of two cravings in one tasty package. What a great world this is!
Big Box Of Chocolates is comprised to 12 expertly performed songs that still manage to sound effortless, spontaneous and sincere. It is direct, accessible and loads of fun. The band is known for their up tempo style, but songs such as "Sit Like Ravi" reveal the gentler side of foursome. Thematically, the album ranges over life in their part of the world, enriched by colorfully sketched real and imaginary characters. Both melodically and lyrically, the album is clever without being showy, and provides an energetic, friendly, and melodic brand of rock to which many bands aspire, and few attain. Give this one a chance to get under your skin, and you'll be playing it a long time -- maybe until Hooton Tennis Club releases their next album.
Hooton Tennis Club are Ryan Murphy (vocals/guitar), James Madden (vocals/guitar), Callum McFadden (bass) and Harry Chalmers (drums). Big Box Of Chocolates was recorded by the great Edwyn Collins, and is out now via Heavenly Recordings.
