Alison Statton

Pants Yell! is a group of three young men that hail from the red brick sidewalks of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The album title Alison Statton pays homage to the lovely young Welsh girl who fronted Young Marble Giants and Weekend. The songs pay homage to failed relationships and the uncertainty of youth via a batch of intelligently informed compositions; where female vocals float through as trumpets and saxophones spurt lost Stax lines, a glockenspiel chimes, guitars feedback, drums flail and a young man sings sweetly about all the things young men should sing sweetly about. Alison Statton confirms Andrew Churchmans position as top-notch modern songwriter. His words and themes flirt as much with the films of Truffaut as they do with Jonathan Richmans earnestness and the Go-Betweens golden days of mellifluous pop truisms. All in all, Alison Statton is modern pop music at its best.
