The Heat Can Melt Your Brain

The Heat Can Melt Your Brain is the debut album from UK husband and wife team, Vida Voce, and it certainly bodes well for their future. Warm and fuzzy indie pop is the order of the day, with plenty of undulating rhythms, gently strummed guitars, weirdly wonderful sound effects and boy/girl harmonies, not a million miles away from The Delgados or Yo La Tengo, especially the beautiful ‘The Centre Of The Universe’ or ‘The Lucky Ones’. There’s something quietly charming and inoffensive about these 10 tracks, few of which get faster than a gentle canter. There are a couple of surprises, though, namely the soulful ‘High Highs’ and the countrified ‘Mixtapes=Love’.
