Wednesday, 6 February 2008Team WaterPolo - letting go on Moshi Moshi Team Water Polo Letting Go / Problematic girls Label: Moshi Moshi Singles Quantity Pressed: Not Specified Release Date: 25/2/2008 How long does it take for a band to blow up these days? What if you played the right few shows, posted a couple of tracks like 'Letting Go' on your new band's myspace, the URL just freshly registered. Could it happen with a song recorded in your house with garageband and a couple of microphones? Do you think you would find yourself opening for CSS on their tour and a new 7" single on Moshi Moshi? I doubt it, because for as many right moves as anyone makes there a million wrong ones, and it's not something you can ever exactly pin down, it's an anomoly to try to trace this kind of success from bedroom to single. This has to be that future we all wanted, where it all comes down to talent and any of the limitations that could hold you back as a poor musician with no gear are gone. This DIY sounds as professional as anything, the lines of home and studio recordings are nonexistent, is this even still a factor anymore? There's still no substitute for sheer experience or not exhausting yourself out of the gate. But there's no excuses either for the sound, the choices, what's on that record is exactly what you wanted to put out, and what Team Waterpolo have put out so far fits right into the exhuberance of a debut, sounding as optimistic and frantic as a Tokyo Police Club, but as friendly as I'm from Barcelona, it's a pefect ending, from the bedroom months ago to being immortalized in 7" vinyl. The B-side 'Problematic girls' takes the same dense tracked approach and veers all over genres from measure to measure, all chords to breakdown half rhyme/hip hop summer Luscious Jackson slow jam, into a xylophone solo, and then double time punked chorus with layers of lead vocals. They are proficient in changes that will keep you guessing the whole way through, pulling out an impressive number of tricks in less than 3 minutes. Let's hope they continue to maintain this breakneck out of control level of fun. Jason Dean Labels: css, letting go, moshi moshi, team waterpolo
