Menace Beach - Lowtalker

Review by Paul Faller

Menace Beach are part Pixies, part Pavement, part Beach Boys, all feel-good.»

Menace Beach introduced themselves earlier this year with two quick fire singles via French imprint Desire Records and the ever essential Too Pure Singles Club. Heading back into the studio, the group release new EP 'Lowtalker' via Memphis Industries. Menace Beach is a band led by twin vocalists Ryan Needham and Liza Webster - but they also have a revolving cast of band members that include the likes of MJ of Hookworms on lead guitar, Nestor Matthews of Sky Larkin on drums, Robert Lee of Pulled Apart By Horses on guitar / bass - and they've even been known to have Paul Draper ex-Mansun legend on guitar and back up vocals. The EP is A kaleidoscopic vision of fuzzed out, psychy pop, exemplified by key tracks 'Fortune Teller' and 'Where I Come From'.
