Description:
Featuring ex-Jesus And Mary Chain luminaries Jim Reid, William Reid and Ben Lurie with Jim and Williams sister Linda on vocals, Sister Vanillas Little Pop Rock is an exhilaratingly fresh pop record which also serves as a timely reminder of just how essential the seminal group from East Kilbride actually were. There can be no doubt that the song-writing on Little Pop Rock incorporates many elements that will be familiar to Mary Chain fans, but to focus solely on the input of the estranged Reid brothers would be a disservice to the vocals of their sister Linda. If the reconvening of Jim and William on the same album (since The Jesus And Mary Chains final offering Munki in 1998) is some cause for celebration, its the sheer strength of Little Pop Rock, the allure of Lindas vocals and how angry, reflective and urgent the songs sound that should have you throwing an all-out street party.
