Two lads that sound like a firm of lawyers, by name, if not by music. Perhaps they should get a third cohort, one with a name like Jones. Then they could sound like estate agents. Birch, Hallam and Jones. The tune itself has the kind of synth line
OMD once aspired to and a breathless vocal that is a little too breathless for its own good. File under 'Eager To Please'. (

Oh gawd, not another pretty duo I groan. But wait, this is different. While some of the others have limp wrists B & H have a firm handshake leading you through particularly effervescent themes and stark lyrics. Impressive debut. Buy it. (
