Majorette

Queens, New York twee chanteuse, Danielle Salomon’s (aka Majorette) initial Forever Starts Tuesday EP is one of ‘those releases’ that feels slightly precocious, if only because a debut offering should not really feel so very accomplished. Ensconced deep within a definite twee meets jangly indie-pop core, the opening double salvo of Soon and the simply sublime lead single One Glove crumbles a subtle Mitski-style bratpop intent through Frankie Cosmos inflected jangled riffs and vocal machinations to give us a sound that is adorned by melodic intent and twee-pop cutesy in equal measures. The other two tracks deviate from the above template somewhat whilst still remaining defiantly twee. As such the slow, haunting isolation of Calendar is bedecked with beautiful Kirsty MacColl vocal sweetness whereas the closing Forever Starts Tomorrow is a glorious mesh of Au Revoir Simone style 80s Casio keyboards that softly cushion A Young Marble Giants / Pillows sense of glitched drizzled pop. Majorette is one of those acts that you know will justify a click on every follow button you can find in the future
