Great British Hopes: Elle S’appelle

Great British Hopes features band that are great, British, and fill us with hope for the future of music. Or something like that.
Cheerful, upbeat songs with melodies that go all over the place. Throw in some random shouting and handclaps. No, the result is not Los Campesinos! for once (more on them later though!), but rather Liverpool’s Elle S’appelle, who manage to capture the same kind of sound with less than half the number of band members. Very efficient and very impressive. It may all be a little too sickly sweet for some, but it works well for those of us that don’t need our indie music to make us want to kill ourselves.

Thank you so much. So different from the “British indie” I know.
