Correcto are a Glasgow based band, Danny Saunders is the main man, dealing with lyrics and vocals, Richard Wright is on guitar, Patrick Doyle (formerly of The Royal We) on bass and Paul Thompson (currently of Franz Ferdinand) on drums. The band is signed to Domino, but they don’t seem to have been getting as much press attention as a Domino signed group with a member of Franz Ferdinand should. This self-titled album is competent and easy to listen to, with Danny Saunders’ particular lyrical and vocal stylings being the most defining characteristic.Correcto use a buzzing overdriven guitar sound for the melodic passages in most of their songs, and then drop in atonal and un-melodic spikiness to create contrast and to develop the mood of the songs. 'Inuit' buzzes, spikes and also has a high light jangle in the background. Saunders hisses wheezes and spits his way through the song peeling off fragmentary lyrics about some Inuit, giving the guy his time “You can use mine”, and talking about how, “At least he’s sticking with me”. Huh. The bassist and drummer create a blizzard, and the whole song comes across like drunkenly sledding down a huge hill.A well structured punk inspired number comes next, 'Do It Better's guitars buzz along, using a rhythm akin to starting up a car, ch-ch-ch-ch. Saunders once again uses his odd vocals, the rhyme of “Tea” and “Me” a lewd drawing out of the vowels. Next song, 'Joni', is a highlight of the album, an instant melody with a bass drive underpinning it. Simple crunchy guitar chords hammered to death during the chorus (to good affect), and then more inventive during the verses. Some more lyrical and vocal highlights appear here, “Joni, Joni/I would eat a fish-eye/To have you by my side”, is inspired by reality TV, or maybe its just inspired, and “Joni, Joni/Wait until September” has “September” beautifully bitten off and spat out.Things take a turn for the Velvet Underground, (circa 1969s self-titled), with 'Save Your Sorrow', using a similar early morning after the night before feel. Guitars picking out notes in loops and an organ sound in the background are the basis of the song. Also, a lyrical gem right at the start, “Jesus thinks you’re ugly/And you’re gobby too”, and then there’s a deranged shouting finish at the end of the track.There’s a reason I’ve picked out the first four tracks on the album, and there’s a reason why the attention wavers for the last half of the album; they set their stall out early on and that’s all there is. The song ideas repeat for the duration. They're good songs and there's never a misstep in style, but maybe that's part of the problem. Too well executed, too comfortable with what it is, no snags or roughness to make you pause and evaluate and consider. Overall, a cool mix of VU and indefinite Post-Punk, that is worth more attention than it seems to be getting. 73%Links Correcto [myspace]
