Pitty Sing - Pitty Sing Review By PopMatters Staff;13 March 2005 "One can’t mistake the ’80s new wave and post-punk déjà vu all over Pitty Sing’s self-titled debut. However, Pitty Sing’s front man, Paul Holmes, is apparently “miffed” at the insinuations that the band’s songs borrow from such beloved ’80s acts as Simple Minds, Depeche Mode, the Smiths, Psychedelic Furs, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, and INXS, just to name a few. There may be some truth to that statement since all of the band’s members were still in diapers when most of these ’80s bands were king. Pitty Sing is made up of four dropouts from Boston’s Berklee College of Music, who all now reside in New York. Paul Holmes was born in England and relocated with his mother to the States in the early ’90s. It wasn’t long after he moved to Boston that Holmes hooked up with the other members of Pitty Sing, and by mid-2003 the band issued a self-titled three-song demo that kick-started a growing local and online buzz. Pitty Sing’s first full-length album will probably elicit a mixed response, depending on where one stands with the recent trend of mining AOR music of the late ’70s and early ’80s. Recently, bands like the Darkness have found success by playing up to the nostalgia with tongue-in-cheek fun. However, the longevity of such gimmickry is debatable. Pitty Sing doesn’t quite fall into the same category, since it appears more sincere and earnest in its approach. Even though its music clearly evokes numerous comparisons to ’80s bands, it does manage to retain its own unique identity. It is easy to dismiss the band at first listening, but with repeated exposure many of the anthem-like songs start to creep into your head. The single “Radio” is an exception to this rule, where its pulsating and explosive sound makes it immediately infectious. The melancholic “Fallen” is one of the album’s highlights, possibility because it is one of the least genre-borrowing tunes. Considering Paul Holmes’ nubile age of 21 years, he is surprisingly competent as a lyrist. As in “We’re on Drugs”, he demonstrates a good sense of irony: “And then it comes / When it feels like we’re in love / Just remember we’re on drugs”. Musically, the entire band is tight, providing each track with strong rhythms and catchy guitar or keyboard riffs. The album is also blessed with solid production from Nick Seely, who is able to keep Pitty Sing’s sound interesting and fresh by striking the right balance of synthesizer and guitar, and embellishes tracks with many electronic noises."
