Favorite Albums of 2014: Complete Surrender, by Slow Club
Dynamics is one of the keys to this Sheffield UK duo‘s third album; a number of the songs start in a languid, romantic groove and gradually build in intensity, adding horns and strings, until they take off and soar. Another key is the powerful, emotional singing of Rebecca Taylor; while she and bandmate Charles Watson share vocal duties pretty equally, both voices similarly clear in tone and blending effortlessly, she’s the one who really shines. Here’s Northern-soul stomper “Suffering You, Suffering Me”.
