“Blood Red Shoes are like the impossibly cool kid you spy on your first day of Freshers’ Week. The one who has a vinyl copy of the Repo Man soundtrack under one arm and a battered notebook scrawled with declarations of love for Sonic Youth under the other.”

Box of Secrets starts with a blow to the head with ‘Doesn’t Matter Much’ and sizzles with the angst and energy that has not been seen in music since the turn of the millennium. But the hardcore element is not unnecessary. Box Of Secrets is still ultimately loveable. ‘You Bring Me Down’ kicks in and fly’s by like a bullet train not ready to stop anytime soon. Then there’s ‘Say Something, Say Anything. Once again heavy guitars and thumping drums accompany the current single. ‘I Wish I Was Someone Better’ then rattles through your brain, with the girl-boy duo collectively singing in harmony.
‘ADHD’ comes and goes, as does the thumping ‘It‘s Getting Boring By The Sea’ , and they are as catchy as the rest of the album, and as Box Of Secrets starts to come to it’s climax, you realise the whirlwinding greatness of what you have heard.
Box of Secrets doesn’t stop or halt at any turn with the heavy drums and jagged guitars whizzing round your head for the whole 40 minutes. Then again, why should it when it sounds this good?
