It's surprising that these guys hail from London - there's definitely a touch of the Mersey about this indie track. There's also an indie retro feel reminiscent of The Las.
End Of The Line is a gloriously overblown single best described as what might happen if the Libertines were in a West End musical. It's a tremendous chorus number. It's Sinatra's My Way reinvented for the shoe gazing generation. It's... pretty weird actually. This is a good single that stands out from the current indie posturing scene by being distinctive and quirky without turning into a spoof of itself. It's clear that everyone involved with this is having fun and the fact that it feels like an early nineties indie hit definitely works in its favour. Not essential, but varied, different, and with enough of a touch of gleeful camp to be worth checking out.
The B-side is the simple ballard Ella Mae, a more restrained and emotional song with its feet grounded in the 1960s. There's a good future for this lot if the mix of influences doesn't pigeonhole them too much. On the strength of this, it's going to be worth seeing what Mohair do next.
