So Say So are a London five-piece who make the kind of offbeat pop that seems to be popping up in a few bands at the moment. Fanfarlo are the current champions of this, but So Say So are strong contenders, awkward name and all.
But while Fanfarlo are very good and what they do, they can also be a little, well, boring. So Say So have no such problems. The music is slightly dreamy, and bigger than it really should be, but most surprisingly of all, still manages to remain incredibly catchy. It’s so easy for these kinds of bands to cross the line to the dull side of things, but So Say So keep an air of whimsy about the proceedings. It’s hard to tell from just one song, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them as the critical buzz band of choice six months from now.
