Elle Milano - Laughing All The Way To The Plank (Track)

Release: 23rd June 2008

Label: Brighton Electric

With the recent spurt of bland and boring Indie bands surfacing in the past couple of years, such as The Kooks and The View etc, Elle Milano has defied preconceptions of what “Indie” actually is. Coming across as more of an Indie / Pop Punk hybrid, their latest single is a dance floor stormer that is sure to flood the clubs as hipsters dance so hard that they forget about their perfectly styled hair cuts.

The pacing seems just right, until it approaches the chorus, in which Adam M. Crisp’s vocal veers from singing to full on screeching along with a perfect combination of staccato piano and honey drenched guitar riffs. The background vocals add an air of ethereality to the mix, which just makes you realise the little idiosyncrasies of the instrumentation, the Bells, Whistles and Glockenspiel. The sad state of affairs is that this masterpiece won’t be recognised by the general Radio 1 listening public. What an utter travesty.
