Title: What a debut
Review: This album is probably the most catchy and immediate of this Scottish band's two albums. The charm of the Delgados is the way they shape songs around Alun and Emma's distinct voices (I prefer Emma's, but then she gets to sing the best hooks). It's pop with surprises. Instead of simple ABAB structures they unleash something completely unexpected three-quarters of the way into a song and it will blow you away. While "Domestiques is definitely less Baroque than "Peloton", its craft is apparent. In a way, it's hard to imagine they all got kicked out of other bands because they couldn't play. But then, sometimes the lack of pure chops is a blessing in disquise. My current favorite band and definitely worth your time.
