Sons & Daughters - Darling

Taken from Sons & Daughters' third album The Gift, Darling is the type of beautiful energetic indie pop we've come to expect from the Glasgow band.

Lead singer Adele Bethel is on fine form, backed up by a stomping, danceable beat and polished off by Bernard Butler's production. The result is much more towards the cheeriness of his collaborations with David McAlmont than Suede's signature cynicism, thrown together with a touch of Latin brassiness that wouldn't be out of place on a collaboration between Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson.

As an offering ahead of the album, it does the requisite job of promising enough for the future to make sure you want to come back. It might be more suited to a summer barbeque or a day at the beach, but in the meantime it does its best to remind us of warmer weather, and that can't be a bad thing.
