Anyone looking for an album that epitomises British Indie music post -2005 could do a lot worse than investigate the debut release from London quartet Good Shoes. Relentless trawls around the toilet circuit have garnered the band a loyal fanbase already and this has served to fuel feverish anticipation ahead of this long touted release. Thankfully the anticipation has not been without merit.

The social commentary of 'Morden' kick starts the album. Full of comically damning observations and slightly awkward rhymes (“A Superdrug and a KFC/Is this everything you need for a cultured city?"), it manages to work in what seems an effortless manner. Single release, the slightly off-kilter 'All In My Head' is tinged with the darkest wit whilst offering frank confessions of insecurity. Its disarming chorus is perfectly apt.

Elsewhere, songs such as 'Blue Eyes' and 'Sophia' offer everyman takes on relationships and are sure to strike a chord with broken hearted teens up and down the country. Here, as is typical throughout the record, musicianship is second to none – varied, intricate and warm sounding without ever sounding mechanical. Good Shoes tick all the right boxes.

The record breezes by – 14 tracks in under 40 minutes, but its substantial enough to leave a lasting impression, and after a handful of plays it's hard not to find yourself singing along. 'Think Before You Speak' is choc-full of brilliantly catchy, intelligent pop songs. What’s most important though is that it's infectious charm stands up to repeated listens. It appears the future is bright for Good Shoes.
