The Rileys
Do You Feel Me
Tuesday 17th of February 2009
When we heard 'Baby Blue' from The Rileys, we liked it quite a lot, so is it a hit or miss for their follow up 'Do You Feel Me', which they release on 16th February.
It starts off like The Kooks crossed with The Kaiser Chiefs, part serious musicianship and part "You-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh" cheekiness. The bass is busy climbing up and down and the melody is casually infectious. The real highlight comes towards the end of the record when the song gets broken down and builds back up via a fantastic vocal section.
Yes, The Rileys have struck gold twice in a row - and it's likely they'll do so again and again.
