Guitarist Robbie Stern’s roots in precocious indie-pop outfit Cajun Dance Party really come to the fore on ‘This Could Be A Bridge’, the latest offering from London duo Post Louis.
Where former bandmates Daniel Blumberg and Max Bloom immediately went on to peddle big chunks of sunbaked fuzz in Yuck; Robbie has – until now – been biding his time. Buddying up with singer Stephanie to record incisive 90′s indebted alt-rock under the Post Louis banner; the duo aired debut ‘Oldsmobile’ last month, a track resplendent with calming looped vocals and subtle percussion.
Five years has passed since the release of CDP’s debut, The Colourful Life, and Stern still retains a familiar sense of wonderment in his dexterous soloing on ‘This Could Be A Bridge’. Said guitarwork provides the ideal foil for Stephanie’s uncomplicated cooing; a dainty little murmur which grows in stature alongside chiming cymbals and layers of yawning reverb as the melody beefs up.
They mightn’t be ready to break the alt-rock mould just yet but their gentle bending of the genre’s conventions is pure, buttery bliss for now.
