Tales of submitting to the passing of time should be melancholic reflective pieces, right? Think on! ‘Holding On’ is a bombastic triumph. The infectious guitars and vocals of The Concretes, the angular licks of The Long Blondes, the harmonies of The Pipettes, and the overriding joy of Kenickie reign supreme.
The vocals Annabel, Sophie, and Georgia impart are nothing short of divine. The cute but spikey drawl of Kate Jackson and Lauren Laverne ignite an excitement that rapidly becomes intoxicating. Collectively they’ve an innate ability to lean into the wry humour of The Pipettes one moment and the antagonistic fire of Jemina Pearl (Be Your Own Pet) the next. The great vocal inflections are met with a solo which, had Mick Ronson spent time in The Long Blondes, he surely would have made.
Difficult second album? Nah!
