Voo - Same Mistakes/What Will Happen and When

The press release for Same Mistakes/What Will Happen And When is a series of brightly coloured statements (shock! - ed), ranging from the informative (“Voo have played with Crowded House”) to the bizarre (“Voo calls shotgun”) to suspected untruths (“Voo try to take press releases seriously” - yeah right). But the most telling proclamation is “Voo have always liked Death Cab For Cutie", because both tracks shimmer like the emotive swells of Ben Gibbard’s most cherished indie moments. And while Voo might lack originality, they’re polished enough to promise a bright future. The press release closes with “Voo thank you”. Really, the pleasure’s all mine. [Chris Buckle]
