Sad Day For Puppets – Sorrow, Sorrow
The continual stream of identikit indie pop from the States often makes it difficult to tell bands apart. Within seconds though, ‘Sorrow, Sorrow’ reveals Sad Day For Puppets. The old sweet / sour combination is in evidence, with the disconsolate lyrics buoyed by the most uplifting of melodies. Far from fashionable, the band’s songwriting sits midway between The Beach Boys and Teenage Fanclub, ending with a screech of feedback. Frayed at the edges, ‘Sorrow, Sorrow’ is all the more affecting for it.
