Right, lets not mess around, Bourgeois Heroes are brilliant. Hailing form New England, the somehow take all of your favourite records and put them through some sort of amazing B&S/Pulp filter. Sophisticated, clever indiepop is go. Its like someone has designed a band for listening to on the bus. Effing marvelous.
'The Boy at the Record Store' is a proper old fashioned character song, musically invoking everyone from the Beatles via B&S, Ballboy and Roy Orbison. It even has a girl spoken word bit. Its like a music loving librarians wet dream.
'I Wanna Be Nice To You' sounds all the world like a jam between the Doors and the Beach Boys gone twee. Try and listening without giving it a bit of a Ringo hair shake during the chorus. i challenge you!
'Musical Postcards' is a bloody waltz. A lovely, string embedded baroque number with china fragile vocals and a pretty, 60's-ish chorus. Really interesting, ambitious stuff.
They shift between psychedelia and skiffle with an absolute ease. This band is a little bit special, dont take my word for it, check them out here-http://bourgeoisheroes.bandcamp.com/
and get yourself a CD. Its under a fiver in English money.
