Self Assembly
Chock full of exquisite soul/pop moments which seem to engage your feet and your hips before your brain
Noonday Underground wallow in tradition of sorts, but theirs is a Motown/Stax/Northern Soul thang, dontcha know. Pop perfectionist Simon Dine provides the obsessive record collection, and the perfectly named Daisy Martey provides the tonsil technique as Noonday Underground create their aural adventures in stereo. From the opening salvo of ‘The Light Brigade’, it’s clear there’s something special going on here and there is little over the course of the following 14 tracks to suggest otherwise.
Austin Powers would fall in love with the sonic shuffle of ‘London’, the trippy ‘We Saw The Midnight’, the full-on dancefloor filler of ‘When You Leave’, the insistent ‘Where Have They Gone’ or the Portishead-on-LSD of ‘Hush’. Self Assembly is chock full of exquisite soul/pop moments which flitter forth from your stereo, explode in unusual directions and seem to engage your feet and your hips before your brain.
