Our Take
Our Take
BASIC PLUMBING's debut album, "Keeping Up Appearances," is a lo-fi masterpiece that will have you questioning why you ever bothered with high production values in the first place. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where DIY reigns supreme and imperfections are celebrated.
The duo's signature blend of off-kilter pop hooks and DIY charm creates a sound that is both comforting and refreshingly original. Songs like "Leaking Faucet Blues" and "Wonky Pipe Dream" are catchy enough to stick in your head for days, while still retaining a sense of rawness that is often missing in mainstream music.
Lead vocalist and guitarist, Sheila Threadbare, delivers her lyrics with a deadpan delivery that perfectly complements the band's laid-back sound. Her wry observations on modern living and societal pressures are both relatable and thought-provoking, making "Keeping Up Appearances" more than just another indie pop record.
Tracks like "Flushing Out the Truth" and "Drain the Main Vein" showcase BASIC PLUMBING's knack for writing infectious, hook-laden tunes that will have you tapping your foot and singing along in no time. And with a runtime of just under 40 minutes, the album never overstays its welcome, leaving you wanting more.
In a sea of polished, overproduced music, BASIC PLUMBING's "Keeping Up Appearances" is a breath of fresh air. So why not dive into the world of DIY pop with this delightful album? You won't be disappointed.
