Single review: Chapel Club – Blind (Universal/Polydor)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 9 May 2011
For all their gothic posturing and faux smoke-and-mirrors obscurity, ‘Blind’ proves that Chapel Club are, for want of a better word, pretty ruddy boring. While their layers of reverb and grappling at elusive, epic sonic horizons is valiant; they fall short of the My Bloody Valentine et al references they clearly yearn to match, instead limply lilting into dull, well-trodden indie drear. Their lyrical obtuseness is more irritating than mesmerising, using allusion and obscurity perhaps in an attempt to befuddle us into thinking they’re actually half way interesting. EG
Physical release: 16 May
