| 'Yr Kicks' - 7" Single - Pastel Green b/w 'Rich + Fields' ON SALE NOW Aufgeladen & Bereit Records £3.00 CLICK HERE TO ORDER What's being said about it? THIS you wonderful beings: SAY Yr Kicks (Aufgeladen Und Bereit) Tweepop! Home of lollipop-sucking scenesters, handclaps and people in thrall to 1967, right? Well, maybe. But there’s more to it than that. SAY are filled with the joys of the spring and summer of love, but they’re not as retro as many others of the same genre, happily mixing up acoustic guitar, woodwind, harmonies and glockenspiels to create a psychedelic sound situated somewhere between Donovan and a bosky Beck. The title track of this three-song single and its successor Rich both follow this formula but, perhaps realising that more would be indigestible, snap into orchestral mode for closing track Fields, a brooding accordion-led tale which sounds like a tuneful fairytale. More of this please! Neil Colquhoun (Isthismusic?) To some, the Pendle District in Lancashire may be the least likely place for a trio to come from that pays tribute to the music of the Beach Boys and Britain's XTC and 10CC. Yet Say are just that. Now, I'm not entirely sure whether Pendle is a lovely place, but Pendle's trio Say definitely sound lovely.Brother Jay, sister Maria Stansfield and Rob Ashworth formed Say and their shared love of 1970's pop music is ever so evident on their debut for Hamburg's premier label, Aufgeladen und Bereit.The extra track on the CD single, 'Fields', is the one to go for. Whereas the first two tracks, the ones on the green coloured vinyl single release, offer dynamite Radio 2 or Radio 6 inclusions, Say's 'Fields' catches this little trio at their best with doses of harmony vocals, harpsichord-like keyboards and a mesmerising melody line to get you drifting along ... fields.
